Run a News Blog? Check out InOtherNews.us

by Matt on Jan 8, 2010 in Promotion

If you run a local news blog or web site and are looking for some extra exposure, check out InOtherNews.us. It’s a directory that specifically lists U.S.-based hyperlocal blogs, and it has specific rules about only including news-based blogs. From the “About” page:

The (loose) criteria are that the sites serve as a “replacement” or supplemental news source in areas where the local newspaper or broadcast companies are dropping coverage. The scope can be local, state or national and be niche or broad-focussed — it just needs to be a journalistic endeavor with a newsgathering mission and not part of a corporate media site. However, no hate-speech sites please, such as a community site that serves only to bash a certain group or political figure or to spread unverified/false information.

I’ve added it to my list of local blog directories post. It’s good to see more sites trying to collate local blog resources.
