Lisa Williams has started a community journalism site for Watertown, MA: H20town.info. (As of this morning, the name hasn’t made it entirely hrough the DNS system, so you may have to click here for now.) It looks great.

Lisa says she was inspired in large part by Adam Gaffin’s Boston-online.com and Debbie Galant’s Baristanet.com.

When it comes to blogging’s long-term effect on journalism, this stuff matters more than the ability of bloggers to bring down media authority figures. The latter counts, no doubt, but it’s giving us a Barbarians-at-the-gates image. In fact, I think it’d be fairer to view us overall as community gardeners.
