Who Owns Upton Daily?

I’ve been writing Upton Daily for over three years now and the question still pops up.

So what is Upton Daily and who owns it?

Upton Daily is a hyperlocal news blog written by stay-at-home mom Jennifer Doyle, me.

I started the blog in March of 2013 because there was no daily online news for Upton. I wanted to provide a service where the focus of the coverage would be Upton. I was looking to highlight all the great things about our community in a daily online format. I also wanted a place where people could obtain up to the minute information about road closures, power outages, breaking news wherever they were.

When will Upton Daily monetize the site?

At the present time, Upton Daily does not sell any advertising. I write the blog for free. I may switch to an ad based format in the future but right now I enjoy writing the blog and don’t want to worry about pleasing advertisers. I have been approached by other news organizations to merge but I’m not willing to give up control over content at this time.

How does Upton Daily decide what to cover?

Basically, I just try to keep on top of what’s happening in the community. I  also watch most of the school committee and selectman meetings and will cover topics that I find interesting.

How to get an event or topic highlighted in Upton Daily?
