BrooWaha

The LA Times has a story today about BrooWaha which is an amateur online newspaper. It looks like a newspaper online, although I'm not sure that's a requirement. The paper covers the LA area. There are more and more of these local news sites which rely on user generated content rather than paid professionals. I think it's a good idea. In my area, there isn't much newspaper coverage and almost no TV coverage, so it might be a good thing around here.
