In an effort to explore innovative forms of journalism, the Canadian Hyperlocal News Project begins today.

This article by Robert Washburn, professor of e-journalism at Loyalist College, starts the investigation with some basic terminology and an overview of this growing trend.

Recent e-journalism grad Brian St. Denis launched a new zine based on his online magazine, Shooting the Wounded, on July 8.

Both the zine and the website examine the alternative arts scene, focusing on a museum, a music concert, books and a unique cafe in Guelph.

St. Denis started the website as part of his online publication project, then moved to a printable version distributed by PDF. His experience in the magazine stream in the Print Journalism program gave him the necessary skills to try the zine.

Using either Blogger.com or Wordpress, the students created their own publications, which they can continue to publish after leaving the college. The students also used social media to enhance their publications and grow their audience.

Here are the sites:
