You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that The Opelika Auburn News is the local daily paper for Alabama’s cities of Opelika and Auburn, and that this site is the digital version of the printed paper. It caters for the community needs by providing a wide variety of local news and several in-depth reports on varied topics, most notably security issues, local government’s initiatives; of course, weather and sports get lots of attention as well.
You will not find much international news at this site, rather more community-focused news and special online-only features, such as video interviews, exclusive podcasts and a nice selection of political and lifestyle blogs; younger audiences will find interesting reads in the ‘Cub Reporter’ area, and they can contribute their stories as well. One of the most interesting things about Oanow.com is the DataCenter, where links to some interesting sources of information are provided: you’ll find statistic crime information, a directory of sanctioned teachers, lists of recalled toys, census data, and many other topics of interest. One of the things that sets this site apart from other local papers’ digital versions is the fact that there is no limit to the articles you can access through the site (you won’t be asked for your subscription details to read any full article), plus there’s a huge variety of web 2.0 subscription features, including RSS for all of their sections plus mobile and email alerts.
