LA Daily News launches citizen journalism site

The Los Angeles Daily News has launched valleynews.com - a new citizen journalism site covering 40 city neighbourhoods.

Valleynews is a series of interlinked sites that serve the San Fernando Valley, Burbank, Glendale, Santa Clarita and Antelope Valley areas with neighbourhood specific pages that allow users to upload photos, stories, events, blog and search for information.

The Daily News - part of the Los Angeles Newspaper Group, which runs half-a-dozen dailies in the city and surrounding area - is trying to tap in to some of the 17.5 million people in the LA news market by engaging them in neighbourhood affairs.

Stories from the citizen journalism site then appear on the Daily News homepage under the banner, community news.
