'Argus' morphs, launches 'Capital Elector'

Capital Elector regional news site launches as other local media consolidate


Elk Grove-based blogger Jason Daniels, founder of the popular 'Eyes of Argus' blog, has launched an ambitious regional news and information blog called Capital Elector.

Accord to The Elector, as we shall nickname it, in their own words is

Conceptually, capitalelector.com is an internet hybrid. An original online news portal hosting a powerful collaborative blog. The mission of the Capital Elector is to serve as a strong and lively alternate internet news/media source that will provide original blog posts, daily regional (or at times out of region) online news, and original video. The most exciting concept that sets the Capital Elector apart from other websites is the quality of our blogging contributors. (including yours truly elkgrovenews.net!)

Fusing relevant local government news with entertaining authoritative opinion, the Capital Elector represents a bold attempt to raise the online profile of Northern California’s local political scene.

While we doubt that the Bee, Citizen or any other local news organizations the Elector competes with will be going out of business any time soon, The Elector represents the leading edge of how news will be gathered, reported and dissiminated in the future.

We wish The Elector great success in this endeavor.
