Listeners of the World,
News is an important and needed part of any person's life whether they like it or not! It is the only way to keep current with the world around us so that we can try and make better choices and understand the changes happening around us. News has been changing a lot over the past few years - how we read it, write it, perceive it, and what type we truly care about! This got our Home Office and team of developers thinking about what type of changes we could make to OurTown to make news fun and important again.
Then we set out on creating a new OurTown site keeping all of this in mind. We have added a lot of new functionality to make it very simple to upload different photos, videos, events, and articles to make sure that entering in news doesn't feel like "work". We have also brought in a "social" feel to the site allowing different local edit0rs to have friends and contributors who will have their own accounts on the site. This way you can create an online community who shares news, photos, events, etc. with not only their site, but with each other.
We are wanting to create a social news feel that will add the fun back into news! It will also give each person the feeling that they are news themselves considering the news that they are submitting is being shown across our news network. It will change the way you try to find and read news!
Please remember that this site and more news is some to come.........
Your OurTown Superhero,
Chris
