CentralBrooklyn.org could be coming just in time to provide updates on the status of Vital Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<p>Jones stated, \u201cInitiatives like Vital Brooklyn are important, but sometimes these initiatives fall short when it comes to engaging the entire community because there rarely exists one main digital media hub where residents, business owners and stakeholders visit, for information in a news format. People in the know might go to some sort of Vital Brooklyn website for specific statistical information, but the general public will stay away because that\u2019s not how we consume content. We all consume content organically through media platforms, particularly when the platform involves like-minded people who care about the same issues. We studied this for years and it works for us in every industry. We expect CentralBrooklyn.org to quickly become the go-to digital media platform for Central Brooklyn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CentralBrooklyn.org will include news and information on health, development, entertainment, community events, politics, small business and housing.<\/p>\n<p>JIG Media quietly and strategically amassed the largest network of New York City focused digital media properties over the past five years. Their network includes EastNewYork.com. HealthyNYC.com, NewYorkforSeniors.com, BrooklynBuzz.com, NYC Sports Network, TodaysHipHop.com, NYCPolitics.com, and many more, reaching over 750,000 New Yorkers.
