What will the new Brevard Outlook look like? For a sneak preview, here are some of the features we expect to release over the coming months.

• News and reporting: As before, Brevard Outlook will break and release news stories not found in local media establishments. We will rely upon citizen reporters and investigators to release these stories. They will be infrequent – meaning we will not be force-feed publishing just to fill a set publication deadline. They will only be as opportunity arise.
• Opinion and commentary: Both guest columnists and staff writers will be posting opinion and commentary about local news and events around Brevard.
• Events: A full event listing of every event in Brevard. Not just night life, or entertainment, or events that big sponsors want to push, but little business networking events, educational events, children’s events, and even private (closed) events. Our events will integrate with your browsing experience. You won’t need to go hunt or search for events (although you can if you want), but you will just be presented events that we think you’ll be interested in based on the content you’re viewing.
• Business and Organization listings: Want to get more detail or contact information for a local business. We’ll have it all right here.
• Advertising: We will be selecting and approaching a few select businesses and organizations to partner with Brevard Outlook. We intend to promote and partner with only those businesses that understand our long-term vision to better the communities of Brevard County.
• User Contribution: All visitors will be able to register and participate in discussions, comments, and improvement of Brevard County. However, unlike many newspaper websites, we will not allow anonymous registrations. It may make for a slightly smaller online community, but we think it will be one that is trusted and appreciated by all visitors.
• Organization: So far, it looks like things will be busy around here. Maybe cluttered. But we don’t intend to let that happen. Unlike many community websites, everything will be easy to find, navigate, and even bookmark and share. If our site is full of flash, glitter, glam (and obnoxious advertising) than it’s serving us – not you. That isn’t happening here. Our visitors will be the ones we listen to, not take for granted.
• Globalization: We believe that the best content on the web isn’t here – but out there. But we’re going to work hard to bring it here and let you find it easier. If news, photos, videos, or even tweets about Brevard seem helpful, you’ll find it here.

So, let us have your feedback and what you would like to see. Right now, simple commenting is enabled (no registration required).
