Laurel Mayor Leaps Into Online News Publishing

Web-savvy Moe publishes an online journal.

It's not every day that a city mayor gets into the news publishing business.

But Laurel Mayor Craig Moe recently unveiled his new online newspaper via the website _paper.li_. The site allows social media users to stream news links from Facebook and Twitter into a newspaper-style website. And while Moe technically didn't write any of the news, which includes national and local stories, he wrote that he hopes readers enjoy the Laurel Mayor Journal.

In the "About" section, it states the site is "a collection of media sources from Twitter, Facebook and other sources about the City, Greater Laurel area and Prince George’s County."
