the collection, dissemination, and analysis of news and information by the general public, especially by means of the Internet.LocalNewsOnly.com (LNO) began posting hyper local news in 2000 and has continued to report for the past 15 years. During this time LNO has been the originating source of a number of local news events. In fact, LNO has been featured as a source on CBS, Fox News, NBC, the Dallas Morning News and the Star Telegram. LNO has also been given credit as the news source for segments on the Oprah Winfrey Show and TMZ. Further, LNO was awarded the Texas Chisholm Trail Crime Prevention Association “Outstanding Media Award Print” in 2004.
In May 2014, LNO brought on a new technical team to redesign and establish a format to accommodate the growth potential of this news source. As such, in May 2015, LNO launched its new format and continues to make improvements and upgrades to accommodate its expanding role.So as a preliminary to the growth and coverage in adjacent local markets, LNO is seeking Citizen Volunteer Journalists to expand our content. As a Citizen Journalists you will receive credit for any posting on LNO. We are seeking Police Reporters (will be trained by LNO’s long time Police Reporter Linda Baker), High School Sports Reporters and Photographers, as well as, General Hyper News from your city.
We also welcome anyone that has a one time urge to contribute with news, photographs or video.
Plans are as content grows to regain the LNO position as a premier advertising source for local businesses. Following the growth, will be the establishment of an Editor from each of the cities mentioned with the establishment of separate news pages and co-operative ownership in each city; with the home page of LocalNewsOnly.com being a collection point for the main stories while each city issue features primarily news from that City’s LNO Edition.
If interested contact editor@localnewsonly.com as a citizen reporter or for a one time photograph, news story and/or video.
