Daily Voice (American hyperlocal news)

Daily Voice, formerly Main Street Connect, is an American community journalism company that says it "bridge[s] the 'news desert' between national and hyper-local, covering town, city, county, and state".[3] The company raised almost $4 million in its first round of private equity funding,[2][4] an amount which made news in the journalism industry.[8] In February 2011, Main Street Connect announced that the one million mark in visits to their websites had been passed,[13] and subsequently said that the sites get about 110,000 unique visitors per month against an underlying population of some 420,000 people.[14] In May 2011, Main Street Connect acquired CentralMassNews, which owned ten local news sites in Central Massachusetts.The new name was purchased by Main Street Connect, and therefore was no longer affiliated with Keith Boykin or Malcolm J. Harris,[18] the figures behind the 2008-begun The Daily Voice onsite news site for African Americans.
