The Boston Globe and Boston University have teamed for local news coverage. BU students will cover neighborhood and town news for Boston.com's "Your Town" hyper-local Web sites. The new program
will launch later this fall and will be coordinated by BU professors and
Globe editors. Boston.com currently has 43 "Your Town" sites in and around Boston. "Your Town" was launched in 2009 to
deliver an online community experience.
