HamletHub Adding Scarsdale as Latest Town in Its Roster of Hyperlocal News Sites

Scarsdale, NY. March 7, 2014 – HamletHub.com a pioneering network of 'hyperlocal' websites providing locally originated news and information to communities has launched its newest hyperlocal site for the Scarsdale, NY area, the company announced today.

With a full roster of sites covering most of Connecticut, HamletHub has begun its expansion to Westchester County and is proud to announce that Scarsdale resident, Lauren Myers Mintzer, has agreed to become the editor of Scarsdale HamletHub. According to the company's founder, Kerry Anne Ducey, establishing sites in New York was a natural next-step for the hugely popular and successful CT-based company.

"We are thrilled to welcome our neighbors in the vibrant New York village of Scarsdale to HamletHub," said Ms. Ducey. "There are so many great people and businesses in the Scarsdale community who deserve to have their very own forum to share neighborhood news, stories, ideas, events and best business practices. Lauren will help make Scarsdale a better place." Ducey adds.

HamletHub launched the first local news "Hub" in Ridgefield in 2009 with a mission to make the world better, one HamletHub at a time. HamletHub won a prestigious Connecticut Press Club Award in 2012 and 2013.

Hamlethub sites differ from other media outlets based on their focus on the needs of the community — its residents as well as the organizations and businesses that make up the fabric of the town. Scarsdale Hamlethub offers a unique opportunity for these groups to have a voice in their community, either by submitting articles to the site as a local resident, or by participating in the site's unique Article Membership service for businesses, giving them an unprecedented opportunity to tell their story and to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.

Lauren is currently PT Council Treasurer, East Heathcote Neighborhood Association Treasurer and a Junior League Sustainer.
