The Baltimore Sun Media Group Interactive (BSMG) has launched a new local Web site, bringing together local newspapers to create the site, Editor & Publisher reported Monday.

ExploreHoward.com is a service of Patuxent Publishing and BSMG, and contains complete weekly content from Howard County's the Columbia Flier, Howard County Times, The View from Ellicott City and The View from Western Howard County.

The site is updated five days a week, and features news, photos and blogs from the newspapers, as well as reader contributions, according to ExploreHoward.com.

In addition to local news sites, the site also offers live feeds from other larger newspaper Web sites when the news involves Howard County, such as The Baltimore Sun, The Washington Post and The Examiner.

“For Howard County readers, this network of news means that the information they need is easy to find in one place,” Tim Windsor, vice president of Interactive for BSMG, said in a statement, according to E&P.
