OjaiNews.com announces new Editor
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!

So what happened at the Women's Center last night? There was about 8 cop cars and at least a hundred people in the place, yet no news anywhere.

thanks, Tyler and all!
i'm very excited about this, and am considering it in many ways a community effort...i look forward to support from many sources as we pursue these common goals together. i am not an expert in everything, and neither is Tyler. i cannot be everywhere, and neither can Tyler. but between all of us (our whole community), we can confidently approach just about any challenge, and can experience nearly everything that takes place in our valley.
i'm looking forward to posting my first Editor's Journal very soon!
