CivilBeat.com, a new online news service launched by Peer News, provides people with a “civic square,” where citizens can learn about and understand, debate and discover the important issues facing Hawaii. The service focuses on a holistic approach to news, providing in-depth reporting on the issues members care about most.

Content - Civil Beat takes an investigative and analytical approach to journalism, focusing on topics and issues as opposed to event-based reporting. The entire Civil Beat staff, including reporter-hosts, will interact with the community to ask essential questions to start discussions and dialogue on key issues.

Conversations - The service offers a place for civil interactions and idea sharing, where everyone can contribute to important dialogue. As a result, all members will be accountable for their voice (no anonymous comments are allowed).
