The Local: East Village's Community Ambassador Courts an Angry Blogosphere

If you’re from outside the New York area, you might not have heard of The New York Times‘s collaborative online journalism effort with New York University. The two will team up, creating a site called The Local: East Village (Lev), which will launch in the next few weeks. The Lev will attempt to cover the East Village area of Manhattan with the help of local bloggers, students and citizen journalists.
