I am very pleased to announce evan austin as the first Editor of OjaiNews.com. evan’s thoughtfulness, diplomacy and community leadership are admirable qualities that will serve him, and the readers of OjaiNews.com, well indeed.
At OjaiNews.com, we are focusing on two main things to start – first, bringing together in one site all of the Ojai news and event sources that our town has to offer, from the Post and OjaiEvents.com to OVN’s blog, Radio Ojai and more. Additionally, we are promoting transparency and accountability at the government level by providing and archiving all sorts of public records, citizen resources and much more to come including video.
evan is going to be posting an Editor’s Journal over there and here at the Post. The Journal is his baby, with the general idea that it will provide a good snapshot of what is going on in Ojai on a near-daily basis. It will be cross-posted here in its entirety – we aren’t forcing anyone over to the other site to read it.
We do have some advertising opportunities at OjaiNews.com. Contact me if you are interested. It’s business as usual at the Ojai Post – we’ll be covering the issues, having fun, indulging the fairly frequent rant – with no ads of any sort. Thanks for reading and participating!
