Think local, act …er local

Following on from a recent post about how some professional journalists in the US are adopting a different model online in order to survive, this latest departure in web journalism takes it down to an even more local level, with MyBallard being an online news service for a neighbourhood of Seattle.
Still, the couple behind it are life-long professional journalists, which raises the question of how good a news service as opposed to a blog - any news service - would be if there were no professional journalistic input.
Maybe the demise of journalists has been greatly exaggerated?
