Is this the future? HoldtheFrontPage reports today that a local newspaper editor who took redundancy has launched a community news website on his old patch.
David Jackman, who now works in NHS communications, was editor of the Epping Forest Guardian, Harlow and Bishop's Stortford Citizens and the Epping Forest Independent but left in October after 21 years with the titles.
He has now launched everythingeppingforest.co.uk. which features major news stories as well as grassroots community news which Jackman told HTFP he believes some titles are now neglecting. Maybe it's a model some other redundant local journalists will follow.
