Richmond magazine applauds the scion of community weblogs

You might not know it, but the man behind Church Hill People’s News — schoolteacher John Murden — has helped others in the city launch community weblogs, including North Richmond News. CHPN was tapped by Richmond magazine this month as one of its “media pleasures.”

The Church Hill People’s News is a neighborhood blog that set the standard for this kind of outlet in the region and often scoops the mainstream media. Feisty, informative and entertaining, even if you don’t live there. We’re waiting for Church Hill People’s News: The Movie.
