"The Jack London News" launches
The Jack London News, a new local newspaper for the Jack London District community of Oakland, California, began operation today.

Joanna Adler, the paper's founder said, "I am pleased that we finally have an outlet for local news stories of interest to the Jack London District community. Since the demise of Urbanview there has only been the Oakland Tribune which hardly ever reports what is going on in this neighborhood."

"We need reporting that gives a perspective from the streets, homes and businesses of the Jack London District", Adler said. "By using local writers and keeping our focus on local issues we can provide just that."

The Jack London News will initially be available in an on-line format with stories being published at the website www.jacklondonnews.com. "In the near future we hope to make our news stories available via an email based subscription service. We realize that many of those in our community, or people just visiting the area don't have access to the Internet. Therefore if there is sufficient demand we hope to provide The Jack London News in printed form, starting with a monthly newsletter available from local business outlets." Adler explained.

The Jack London News would like to hear from anyone interested in contributing news stories and other content, or from anyone with an interest in joining the editorial team. For more information contact editor@jacklondonnews.com.
