THE IDEA

Here’s what I want to build.

Useful local news should be easy to find. I want to build a small independent blog with a weekly round-up, interviews and practical guides written for the people who live here.

Before launching, I’m asking people I know whether they would support the first three months of reporting and the website that brings it together.

THE PLAN

An initial budget, subject to change before any separate funding agreement.

Website & setup$1,200

Reporting & photography$1,200

Hosting & launch$600

Target budget · USD$3,000
