We are so pleased to announce that as of today, IMBY (in my back yard), a network of websites for citizen journalism and community networking, includes Red Hook, our first site in Dutchess County.

To residents of Red Hook, IMBY is a platform with which you can create your own digital community newspaper. Please do!

Sign up and post your own news stories, feature, stories, arts reviews, opinion pieces, photos, videos, events, announcements and more on the Front Page.

If you own a business or run an institution or organization, post a page in the Directory .

If you are holding an event, actual or virtual, post it on the Front Page, as well as the Calendar.

If you have any questions, ask Red Hook resident and Citizen Editor Emily Sachar.. Emily is a journalist, art historian, and writing teacher, so we’re very lucky to have her. Her email address will be emily@imby.com, but until we get her set up, it’s emily.sachar@gmail.com She’ll be happy to hear from you. (Her lovely face is the second image above.)

Welcome to IMBY, Red Hook!
