It seems that local news sources never seems to have good local news. It is always after events or incidents have happened that they are mentioned. I think a huge part of the problem is newspapers do not want to truly adopt blogs, twitter, or social media as a two way conversation. Just a way to spread links. I see the need for good news keeping and the Beaufort tribune does seem to have a good start as long as they keep the conversations in both directions. I started my own local blog Beaufortonian.com in hopes of providing local interest but it is more events and activities then actual news articles since it is my wife and I writing it. Great write-up! Eric,
