THE NEW YORK TIMES COMPANY

On its face, The Local East Village is a collaborative experiment between a learning institution, the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University, and a newspaper, The New York Times - but it's much more than that... Like our sibling blogs on nytimes.com, we will seek to avoid snark and glibness and we hope to foster an engaging, collegial, informative and good-humored environment. Our site will focus on reporting - from both student journalists and our neighbors in the community - and offering perspectives in a community-wide conversation in the East Village. We hope that you - our collaborators, our partners, our neighbors - will join it... We want to see our neighbors and everything that's happening in our neighborhood. Join our Flickr group ».
