If a journalist turned up at the door of your local site?

Will Perrin asks what would you do with a journalist?

He tells us that

some hyperlocal sites are doing so well that I am now getting queries about how journalists can ‘help’ hyperlocal sites from folk who are journalists or manage papers.

Will is a champion of hyperlocal,being the brains behind Talk About Local,a project to give people in their communities a powerful online voice.

It's an interesting question and he suggests examples of where you wake up

one day to find a nice shiny shrink-wrapped journalist on your doorstep with passable modern media skills and all the classic attributes a journalist should have

and his solution?

Use them to add capacity,to do legal and council reporting,to add a bit more bite and to transfer skills.

Any others you can think of?
