New to the (Hyper-)Local Scene

The Post today launched its first community-based blog, the alliteratively named Focus on Fairfax, edited by the current editor of the Fairfax Extra, Steve Fehr.

It’s the paper’s first venture into hyper-local journalism, the type of in-your-neighborhood-news that newspapers are hoping will save them from the heap of irrelevance.

> Anyone else find it remotely coincidental that the Post would launch their first community-oriented blog in the EXACT SAME county covered by the only independent hyperlocal site in the area?
