Placeblog

Placeblog is a website which is about covering different place-specific news and events.

A placeblog is an act of sustained attention to a particular place over time

It can be done by one person, a defined group of people, or in a way that’s open to community contribution

It’s not a newspaper, though it may contain random acts of journalism

It’s about the lived experience of a place

 

It is about live experiences of places instead of just news or stories.

Placeblogs are sometimes called “hyperlocal sites” because some of them focus on news events and items that cover a particular neighborhood in great detail — and in particular, places that might be too physically small or sparsely populated to attract much traditional media coverage. Because of this, many people have associated them with the term “citizen journalism,” or journalism done by non-journalists.

 

Placeblogs, however, are about something broader than news alone. They’re about the lived experience of a place.

If you like to write about places you visit and a frequent traveler, it is a great place to have your reviews appreciated.
