MySacramento.me is happy to announce it is partnering up with the Sacramento Bee's new Sacramento Connect. It's a random medley of local bloggers, aimed at bringing everyone together in a big, happy funplace. Click on the bar at the bottom to check it out.
With the growth of hyperlocal websites, free classifieds, and blogging, traditional news is hurting. However one thing will always be constant: demand for information. The Sacramento Bee has had to scale back significantly to stay afloat. Can it make it? Can the paper industry in general survive? Only time will tell.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this isn't newsworthy... The Sacramento Bee reports that Kevin Johnson got a $35 parking ticket for parking his BMW over a line. That's it. The Bee is cutting every other section in the paper and leave fluff like this in the paper. And they wonder why readership is down?
The Sacramento Bee unveiled its new web presence today. Is it me, or does this site look oddly familiar to, oh, I dunno... a million other news sites? Nothing even looks remotely "Sacramento" anymore. It seems they have succumbed to the cookie-cutter syndrome that corporate America is embracing with open arms. The new site is different, I guess... did they change just for the sake of change?
