Sweden's most distributed daily the Metro will launch 26 new local web sites that will incorporate 50-60 volunteers recruited to write and take photos from their area. Sakari Pitkänen, editor-in-chief at Metro, hopes to fill the gap made by Stockholm-based newspapers reports on local news in the suburbs.
