History
TippNews DAILY was founded on August 31, 2009 by Michael McDermott, owner of Bash Foo Social Media as an attempt to serve the needs of the local community for news reporting after the folding of both local newspapers, namely the Tipp City Record Herald and the Tipp City Independent Voice.
Being an online news resource, TippNews DAILY is published from any location or mobile device by its nearly 60 contributors (as of January 1, 2010).
Content
The TippNews DAILY reports on current local news, sports, entertainment, schools, weather, and obituaries within the general geographic area of Tipp City Ohio.
In addition to the traditional content that a local newspaper can provide to its readers, TippNews DAILY delivers a rich multimedia experience for its visitors often including photo galleries, videos, and audio clips within individual posts. On its homepage, the online publication also has integrated a radio feed for Tipp City's local Internet radio station, Get Social Radio .
Unlike traditional news providers, TippNews DAILY receives 100% of its news in the form of freely contributed posts from local citizen journalists in Tipp City, Ohio. According to the website, residents of Tipp City are encouraged by the Editor to register for a free account and contribute news stories that they believe to be newsworthy. The Editor function is simply to provide guidance, correct spelling and grammar mistakes and ensure that the news posting meets its Editorial Guidelines.
