Newspaper Franchise Gives Hyperlocal Startup Opportunity
Need a job? How about starting your own community niche paper and becoming the new media mogul in town!
LocalsGuide LLC has just announced its new supplement to its niche newspaper franchise, the LocalsReview! LocalsReview is a community powered review site and nichepaper. The LocalsReview micro franchise will launch in November 2008 and act as a supplement to the Locals Guide Community Portal and niche newpaper franchise. Owner Shields Bialasik describes the LocalsReview as “The ultimate out of the box opportunity for people around the world.” With major main stream newspaper going out of business. Bialasik envisions his micro-franchise network of niche newspapers offering a low cost opportunity for motivated, self starters to take their lively hood into their own hands. “Community generated media is the key to creating lively and engaging media which is both hyperlocal and relevant. Every community needs a LocalsReview and I want to take the models I have created and offer them to individuals as an opportunity in community building and networking. Right now people need jobs and opportunities to reinvent themselves, their community and our world. My hope is that I can build a network of 100 – 300 nichepapers around the country within the next two years. A loose federation of self starters.. individuals who can maintain real and relevant on the ground media representation for their community. Daily newspapers are taking their last breath and I intend to be there with a new solution as well as hundreds of other people who can see the same opportunities that I do. It’s time to re-invent media and put the people back in charge of their own voice.
The LocalsReview niche paper will come fully supported granting franchise license holders full access to the online network which Bialasik and his team are building to support their hyperlocal media empire. Look for an official announcement in November of 2009.
