MEMBER PROFILE
Tom GrubisichWashington, D.C.I write about hyperlocal grassroots sites regularly for Online Journalism Review. What I've seen checking out community sites has not been encouraging. The content is generally dull and doesn't seem to tap into what's special about the communities being covered. I am senior web editor at the World Bank in Washington, D.C., where I started a blog built around small-scale development projects that bring clean water and other essentials to communities in the world's poorest countries, where people live on as little as 50 cents or $1 a day. Earlier in my career, I was managing editor of news for Digital City/AOL and before that co-founder of the free-circulation weekly Connection Newspapers in Northern Virginia. Earlier yet, I was a reporter and editor at The Washington Post. For more information, consult, Who's Who in America (2007 edition). I'm reachable at TomEditor@msn.com.
