What I'm most excited to see in this new year has a more local feel than the NFL, national politics and the crisis in Haiti. I'm excited to see what's in store for this very website.

With the advent of the internet, ordinary people can now express their news and views in a quick and public manner. It no longer takes a journalism degree to convey breaking news or insight on a hot issue. It merely takes a keyboard and the willingness to write or record your message.
