By giving residents a place to congregate, they can learn more about their neighborhood and share their knowledge about where live.

Local businesses, who have already shown their commitment to the community by investing in it, can join the conversation with their most important, and closest customers.

Keeping the buying dollars not only helps the local community, it also helps the envronment by shortening trips and encouraging walking to the corner store.

How? Citilista is a neighborhood network that links locals, merchants, causes and events together in one hyperlocal website. By bringing together these separate aspects of your home town, Citilista provides a platform that not only lets the neighborhood know more about your community but allows it to stand out in an ever expanding online world.

This online hub of information is also a conversation between residents, where they can find out more about the farmers market, water conservation rules imposed by the city or a sale at the nearby bookstore.

Thom Yorke is at the Echoplex so there may be more than drinking going on.

According to the LAist, there have been 80 DUI incidents and 792 hit and runs this year.

Please join Citilista and EchoParkOnline as we take part in Coastal Clean Up Day at the Echo Park Lake! What does picking up trash all the way in Echo Park have to do with the ocean? Well according to Ida Talalla, who is organizing the Echo Park clean up in partnership with Central City Action Committee; “Much of the trash found on beaches and marine environment comes from an inland source, last year over 160 volunteers collected over 1,000 pounds of trash and 5,017 cigarette butts. Keeping trash out of storm drains is essential as all area storm drains exit into Echo Lake.” More information and how you can help can be found here.

It’s not that people were all that different than they are today. You watched either Lawrence Welk or “I Love Lucy” or “The Munsters” because they were the only choices. There wasn’t the option of a home improvement show, reality TV show or a football game.

In that era, mass marketing worked. For a price, you were sure to hit nearly every demographic with a sprinkling of your message.

Today things are different. People can find exactly what interests them. Instead of choosing from the Top 40 they choose from the top million. Where do you fit in? Search and there’s a place for you – perhaps with the knitters or maybe the vacuum cleaner collectors.

Just as important a question for you – where does your business fit in? There are interest groups, communities and niches who would be happy to have you. One natural place that unifies people into groups is the neighborhood where you are located.

Citilista creates natural communities around neighborhoods. And Citilista is there help you find other online communities that will help your business connect with its customers, serve its clients better and ultimately thrive because of the relationships it can build.

Instead of celebrating the ability to interact with the people most affected by the day’s events, instead of using them as a resource of information and correction, he laments this paradigm shift as journalists have lost their status as the gatekeepers.

“We may have a gate here, but the fence is torn down on both sides,” he said.

Amen.

Rosentiel is searching for a way to save newspapers, but frequently referred to newspapers as Journalism. Journalism will continue in any scenario

“Journalism’s challenge is not fundamentally an audience problem,” Rosenstiel said. “It is a revenue problem.”

Actually it is an audience problems as their print product continues to have fewer subscribers and readers go online for news.

“Audiences are migrating online,” he said. “The way we read a newspaper or watch a broadcast is dramatically different from the way we interface with information online.”

He describes the new paradigm: “Online we are hunter-gatherers, not having a relationship with just one news organization. And while a search ad may be complementary to this type of online activity, pop-up and banner advertisements present an intrusion for audiences seeking information.”

That’s why the new advertiser will not push content on to a customer, but offer a product the customer is already looking for.

The new business person will not market to a general audience such as newspaper subscribers, but participate in and support a community that is filled with people likely to want or need their service.

All these strategies – targeting the right customer, actively joining a discussion with likely users, creating brand loyalty through dialogue and common interests – are available through online communities such as Citilista.

Lastly he claims the Internet is not the democratic dream we’d hoped for, citing Google’s power of search.

At Citilista we don’t see Google’s search algorithm as an impediment but as a challenge to make readers happy. Yo make them happy helping them find the information they are looking for. That will increase your rank and put you on the first page when someone searches key terms.

Google search works on the the citation principle – that the more useful a website is the more people will link to it. It also takes into account the time people spend on the site once they get there.

Pulitzer, Hearst, Chandler and others bought newspapers to influence local and national politics while choosing all the news that was fit to print and charging readers to see the information. Newspapers in general don’t want a conversation with readers and they definitely don’t want reader content or their input. They are the editors and the gatekeepers of “news.”

Citilista uses a different model because now every citizen has access to a printing press in the form of the internet. Newspapers and TV are no longer the gatekeepers of the news, there to feed us what they choose.

Citilista uses crowdsourced stories to build a community newspaper that serves the local community.

There are millions of people who care enough about a topic to write about it for free in the form of a blog. Some began as experts on the topic or learned more than most through their diligence.

Many of these selfless fonts of knowledge put their knowledge on the web for anybody to find. But when there are millions of blogs, how does your niche audience find you?

Citilista compiles these niche topics in one website centered around a geographic location. Then Citilista finds the audience that is already out there. Citilista nurture an online community using old-fashioned, grass roots outreach, industry-leading public relations and state-of-the-art search engine optimization.

The difference is that in this digital age that disposable product turns into a permanent, searchable online collection of every trivial tidbit that makes your town special.

While the main audience are the locals who provide much of the content, the website is available for perusal for anybody, whether they are looking for a hardware store and a place to visit while they are in Los Angeles.
