iLocalNews Launches Beta Site in Louisville

iLocalNews today announces the deployment of a neighborhood-based interactive local news and information website for community residents in Louisville, Kentucky. The community-focused news website is designed to deliver real-time local news from local city residents and journalists to Louisville neighborhoods. The dynamic interactive framework offers neighborhoods web pages for sharing community information and posting news stories and comments on local issues and activities. City residents are invited to register through their iLocalNews neighborhood page to begin participating in the news, generating and sharing unedited stories and information. Local residents move from the audience, reading yesterday’s news, to the writer’s desk, sharing local breaking news stories and opinions with their communities.

Neighbors, community leaders and local government officials want to hear your views on current events and learn about important community issues and activities. Kentucky statewide elections, local government restructuring, business closings, and a host of public revenue collection and spending policies in 2015 promise to offer a broad range of opportunities for Louisville residents to share opinions and engage in local community and government activities. Community participation in local news, issues and activities generates better information, which creates a more informed public and an attentive and responsive government. Community engagement helps to ensure integrity and transparency in local government, a “government of the people, by the people, for the people” (A. Lincoln).

Sign up today and join the iLocalNews team.

Best wishes for a very happy and prosperous 2015!
