Today, washingtonpost.com unveiled the latest in its ever-growing line of blogs, Focus on Fairfax. Spearheaded by Steve Fehr, editor of the Fairfax Extra section of the printed Post, the blog is described as a type of “community bulletin board.”

Some blogs are online diaries or journals that contain the musings of the author on any number of topics. Ours will be more like a community bulletin board that tells you what is going on in the county. Some of our posts will be breaking news such as a major traffic incident. Other items will be about future events, such as an upcoming concert. We will tell you about neighborhood disputes, Board of Supervisors and School Board actions, local crime and development. We want to be as fresh and topical as possible so you come to rely on us every day to find out something you may not have known about life in this big county of ours.

We look forward to seeing how the blog develops as a resource for Fairfax County residents. No word yet on whether the Post has similar plans for D.C.; Arlington, Montgomery, Prince George’s, or Loudoun counties; or any of its other weekly Extra sections.
