Evening Times launches network of community websites
The Glasgow Evening Times is launching a network of up to 80 community websites covering every major district in the city. The first twelve of the sites, which went live Monday, cover ultra local news while including listings for local schools, leisure centres, doctors and events. Readers and bodies such as the police, local council and health board are being encouraged to upload material and community groups are invited to create their own ‘mini sites’. The Evening Times has hailed the network the ‘most ambitious network of community websites ever’. The paper will also look to recruit local correspondents to help run the sites. Editor Donald Martin said: ‘No newspaper in the UK has done anything like this in such wide-ranging detail. It’s a massive investment in community news, and we’re delighted to be involved with our readers both in print and now online.’ The community sites can also be found via the link on the paper’s main website www.eveningtimes.co.uk (Press Gazette)
