Text of the press release I sent out yesterday to area media about the new design:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

TUCSON – Monday morning, July 6th, the new TucsonCitizen.com will launch its redesigned Web site as a home for Tucson’s citizen journalists. A compendium of blogs, it will serve as The Voice of Tucson, written by Tucsonans for Tucsonans. They will provide news, information, opinion, commentary and perspective on the issues, interests and events that affect daily life in the Old Pueblo. (more…)

The new version of the TucsonCitizen.com will be up Monday morning.

The redesigned site will have improved home page content and navigation and much improved individual blog pages.

Each blogger will be able to customize their blog and add features and functions available to WordPress blogs.

This version of the site is the ground floor of what we hope to be a very tall building of citizen journalist bloggers adding information and perspective about life in Tucson.

Be sure to check back Monday for the new and improved TucsonCitizen.com.
