It’s Wednesday evening and the Elkton Town Council is in session. We’re covering the meeting live and if news breaks out we’ll move the headline story in real-time and follow it with a more detailed article afterwards. The entire council is present and there are 15 people in the audience. We notice that Wes Walker, a candidate for mayor, is in the audience this evening. In addition, according to the talk we’re hearing down on Main Streets, others in the audience are interested in assuming the leadership position in town. Someone Noticed is the only media present at the meeting in the county seat so we’ll be sure to report on the session in order to inform the public.
Purpose
Originally concentrating on saving some Public Open Space Elkton proposed selling to a developer, we expanded the blog's focus once the Mayor and Commissioners abandoned the attempt. During the nearly year-long process, Someone Noticed found that many important subjects at town meetings weren’t being covered by the media and we also established a regular readership. In consideration of all these elements, we are now focusing more broadly on the “411 on the Mayor and Commissioners of the Town of Elkton” and subjects of broad civic interest to the Greater Elkton Community, especially when it isn't covered by other media.

Way to go Mike. At least some responsible reporting party is interested in the town affairs. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Scotty. I’m just surprised the Whig doesn’t see local news content at town meetings as a way to sell newspapers. Guess that’s too logical for the publishers to want to provide controversial content that is in the public interest. I always try to keep it balanced and share both viewpoints, but some don’t see that. That’s Okay.
