Noozhawk, Online Paper for Santa Barbara, CA
Noozhawk is an online newspaper for Santa Barbara, California created by Bill Macfadyen. It’s lively, chatty, and focused.

[Noozhawk is] a community newspaper without the paper. There are two parts to it: It will be professional reporters, like yourself, doing original reporting on local news, business, sports, real estate, nonprofits, schools. So there will be original content that we provide on the site.
Then the real hook to the site will be to get the community involved through contributions from what I’m calling community contributors.
We want to tie Noozhawk into the community by getting involved with all the networks that exist within Santa Barbara, the communities within the community. That would mean a church or a club sports program or a school or a nonprofit or a business even … They can tell their own stories, submit them to Noozhawk, and then we can help them get that word out about their organizations.
Best of all, Noozhawk is not affiliated with the Santa Barbara News Press, widely recognized as a pathetic excuse for a paper.
