This is a follow-up post to my last entry (detailing the launch of News Off The Press). If you are looking for replacements for the Santa Barbara News-Press, here are my suggestions:
- News: News Off The Press
- Classifieds: Craigslist
- Jobs: SimplyHired
- Weather: WeatherUnderground
- Real estate: Trulia
- Opinion: Technorati
- Calendar: Eventful
- Photos: Flickr
- Business: Pacific Coast Business Times
- Arts & entertainment: The Independent
- California: Los Angeles Times
- US/World: Google News
When you look at this list, there really isn’t anything that the New-Press is solely providing besides Obituaries. And yes, I did just link to the News-Press.
Whoa, that’s awesome that you’ve undertaken this project! I saw the people protesting in front of the NewsPress on Wake-up Wendy Wednesday. Anyway, you should definitely let those people know what you’re doing and I’m sure you could get coverage in the Independent and the Nexus…you should go for it!
Thanks for the words of encouragement Sarah! Now that the site is operational, the focus has shifted to trying to get the word out. Anyone is free to reproduce the contents of this post so feel free to send it along to whoever you think would appreciate the resources. Thanks again for your support!
