If I had to move away to a part of the country I was completely unfamiliar with, I’d move to Loudon County, Va.

Now you’re thinking to yourself, “OK, tell me what is so great about this Loudon County?”

Oddly enough, I don’t know anything about the place.

All I know is the county is in the middle of the changing world of journalism, and that its community is going to be the better because of it.

The Washington Post Interactive has created a Web site for the county with such detailed information that it blows my mind.

They’ve created databases about nearly everything you would need to know about in the community.

They took the time to speak with each and every restaurant, place of worship and school in the county to create databases full of information for its residents.

If you missed church on Sunday, you can navigate to your church’s information page and watch a recording of the morning service.

Or, when you hear that a band you’re interested in is playing in town next month, use the community calendar to request a reminder for the event and the Web site will call or text you with a reminder.

Then there’s the high school football info.

If your son is on the team, he’ll have his own information page with biographical and game information so you can see how he’s doing, even if you had to miss last Friday’s game.

This is all just crazy. The award-winning Washington Post actually sends out their reporters and photographers to take little Jimmy’s photo for their Web site and to cover the game like they’d cover the NFL.

They’re changing journalism by adding the details that there was never any room for in the newspaper.

They’re not thinking in terms of newspapers anymore, but in terms of laptops, cell phones and any other way that people get their information.

They’re taking advantage of the fact that there’s an infinite amount of space on the Web for sites to upload new information in ways newspapers haven’t allowed.

This space means that not only can everyone consume and interact with the news, but they can be part of the news.

Such specialized journalism could be done in every town. We all could end up having our own mini encyclopedia-like Web pages that are woven into the town newspaper’s site.

We could all be a part of the news every day.

I knew journalism was changing and evolving with the Internet, but I had no idea just how different it could be from what we’re familiar with today.

I’d like to live in a town with a news Web site like this one.

My guess is within the next 10 years or so, my town’s newspaper Web site will look a lot like Loudon County’s Web site no matter where I live.
