UPDATE 3:31 ET: The site is now live.
The hyperlocal partnership between The New York Times and NYU, “The Local East Village,” launches today. (It’s not up yet as of this posting, but according to a tweet from NYU’s Jay Rosen, the site will be up later today. We will update.) According to a press release, The Local East Village will be “…built by NYU students and faculty, working with Times journalists and software developers.” The New York Times will publish it. The project also has a Twitter page @nytlev and a Facebook page. We’ll give it some time to find its legs, then have a review.
