Hyperlocal News

Jack Schofield is interviewed by Hank Stolz in this YouTube clip posted today. Jack is the brains behind Central Mass News, which began with Grafton Times earlier last year.

The editorial director for this whole operation is Jennifer Lord Paluzzi, whose Greater Grafton Blog has also been a very good read for the past couple of years.

They're not quite a year old yet, but already they've expanded into three additional towns with Northbridge Times, The Daily Millbury, and The Daily Shrewsbury. And they're working on setting up in three more towns in the coming months.

I'd venture to guess that Jack Schofield definitely "gets it"... The future of online local news reporting is now here in Worcester County. And it's the fastest growing business I know of.
