I recently started an online local newspaper that covers our little town. (www.buscovoice.com)

Our readership is fantastic and the feedback is overwhelming. I have no journalism background, but as a tech savvy person, I really feel this (online media) is where it will all go. Both nationally and locally.

I haven't been handed a piece of "virtual swag" at a conference/expo, have you? hehe... You can't send a URL via ESP as you pass a booth... they have to give you a tangible piece of something to get you to remember them.</p> <p>As for newspapers, I have the hardest time finding *any* info about a local fire (for example) online or other local news, but it will be in the local paper. Sometimes not even the county paper, but the city/town paper. So those media outlets are needed by many. This coming from someone who is actually allergic to newspaper print... so for what it's worth. :) </p> No kidding… I haven’t been handed a piece of “virtual swag” at a conference/expo, have you? hehe… You can’t send a URL via ESP as you pass a booth… they have to give you a tangible piece of something to get you to remember them.
