Week 2 Post 2: Here's to the 'Buzz'!

Hello again! This is the mid-week post about another interesting fact I have come across in my discovery of a hyperlocal news site. Among the news stories and the event calendars, a common theme appears... the theme of a community. 

These communities are the backbone for most all hyperlocal news sites. The definition of hyperlocal news site even mentions a community! "Specific sources based on stories covering an often-small community."  Whether there are sports teams winning a championship title or an annual police gala, Sites like the Saline Post truly embody the events and happenings from their city centers. 

 Check out what I mean by following this link to the Saline Post's site!!

This aspect of community is truly an ideal that should and will be present in the Hunt County Buzz, the Hyperlocal New Site created by the TAMUC (See previous blogs for full title) Mass Media and Journalism Department!!

Until next time, here's to the Buzz!

So this week we are meant to come up with a social media marketing stunt, a way to draw all you lovely people into viewing our site!! Yes I know I mentioned a stunt but we shall continue your regularly scheduled blog after a brief message about " The Saline Post "! This site has been a sounding board for many of the ideas I have personally pitched for the Hunt County Buzz . One of the many awesome things that I found here was that aspect of community involvement. I felt as if the site was created and maintained not only by the news team but by the entire community, they all inputted story ideas and feedback. This type of communication between source and audience is exactly what we at the Hunt County Buzz are striving for. Now I'm no expert but to me the best way...
