Media Guardian blogger Roy Greenslade has filed his first piece of ultra-local news after taking up the challenge to cover his home patch of Kemp Town for The Argus, Brighton, as a community reporter. Roy writes about the expansion plans of a Kemp Town newsagent.
His appointment came from a bit of smart thinking by Jo Wadsworth, the web editor at The Argus. She heard Roy extolling the virtues of hyperlocality at a Frontline Club event, offered him the Kemp Town patch and the former Daily Mirror editor agreed to take it on.
