MSNBC.com Acquires EveryBlock
MSNBC.com has acquired EveryBlock, a startup news site which purports to report and aggregate on a hyperlocal level. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The Chicago, Ill.-based company was built via a two-year grant it received from the journalism supporting group The Knight Foundation in July 2007. Since then, EveryBlock has built a suite of digital tools designed to serve news junkies interested in the latest goings on in their particular neighborood—and even specific street—by pulling together articles, local blogs, user-generated content such as photos and civic data (such as police and crime statistics).
