McLean
TheMcLeanEar.com – The McLean Ear
Their “About Us” reads like this: Our Mission: To unite this diverse, wonderful community that calls McLean, VA home. To serve as a town square where all voices may be heard.
We are your old-fashioned newspaper delivered through your computer. We’ll tell you what’s going on, who’s doing what, and why. We’ll tell you about your neighbors and the folks who make McLean McLean. We will always be accurate and fair.
What their “About Us” doesn’t say: The Editor, Bobbi Bowman, has over 30 years of journalism experience she’s putting to good use. She’s using what she knows to get dirt (think Real Housewives of DC i.e. McLean), arrests, things to do, news, etc. As a long-time resident of McLean, she wanted a place for people to know what’s going on in their own backyard.
