Another Local News Aggregator Steps Up
Christina Warren at Mashable introduces Fwix, a local news aggregation and sharing site. Per the headline it “Attempts to Fill the Local News Void.”
Fwix seems ok - it immediately brought me to the Boston page (it’s only active in 80 towns now) and offered content from the Boston Globe, local NPR station, Cambridge local paper, etc. My concern, as of at least Sept 2009: do I have a local news void? So far, I don’t feel I do. Now, if the Globe shuts down, will that change? I don’t really know; no one in my family gets it now (Dad just opted for the weekend Times deal instead) and I rarely read it online.
