Ver. 2.0 Local in the Know
A new kind of community portal is online this week in Moncton.
Local's Choice is the new home page for moncton.Localintheknow.com
It is designed to tell you at a glance about the activities and events as well as people that are making Moncton, and the sister communities surrounding the booming southeastern New Brunswick commercial city, called Greater Moncton into the must visit centre of the Maritimes.
The lead off article called Local's Choice is a weekly profile of what the editors at LocalintheKnow consider to be the most significant event or business organization to be highlighted for the current week. Every Monday morning, there is a new Local's Choice, we invite you to check back and see what this week's novel story is about.
There is more. Each week a different selection of bloggers, writing columns about local people and issues will be highlighted as well as they begin to develop an online readership. Subsequent posts in LocalWeb will introduce these writers and their different perspectives on what it means to be a local living in the Greater Moncton area.
Also there is a digest of local news from many local sources including the unique Community Digest covering boomlet communities of Greater Salisbury, Metropolitan Petiticodiac and the proudly rural Albert County, where the men are men, the women appreciative, and the Moose and deer are somewhat edgy. At least as an expatriate Albert County former resident, that is how the culture has been described to me.
The redoutable Jeannette Hibbert et familia publish the eclectic monthly Community Digest and LocalintheKnow's Local Digest feature will highlight different stories from the little newspaper. You can get a print copy of this rural report and community profile at the Irving BigStop in Salisbury and other variety stores in the area.
For the downtown life and as a refreshing breather on having and making fun in the Arts and Culture community, nothing beats the Mascaret newspaper with its painting on a tabloid page front pages every month. This November issue at 32 pages and full of ...well fun stuff is the most interesting read you can find about living and loving in Moncton.
Speaking of nothing beats Mascaret, the announcement that Brunswick News, aka The Irving Group Of Print Media, have bought "here" magazine, the former hipster weekly newspaper in Saint John and Moncton, leaves the Mascaret facing the combined big guns of Corporate Marquee newspaper and the now incorporated "here" for a run for the crown of being the coolest paper in town for arts, entertainment, environment, and community lifestyles information about local artists and events.
Stay tuned, this is going to be interesting to watch and will make for interesting reading. The home page LocalDigest will feature story excerpts and coverage from Mascaret updated and online frequently. You can get a print copy of mascaret literraly everywhere that serves coffee or convenience items as well as newspapers. Reids
Newstand comes to mind.
There's more to come, as the concept of creating a web-based information utility that becomes Monctonian's first stop for finding relevant information about their city, develops more content.
Localintheknow's editorial mission is to point you to where you want to go to find information about Greater Moncton. This digest of local editorials is added to the look up and search directory to add to your potential for living well as a local, or being a more informed visitor, when in Greater Moncton.
