Fay Shapiro, former publisher at Bulldog Reporter's "Daily 'Dog" and O'Dwyer's, is launching CommPro.biz, which is billed as a "content hub" that organizes news, tools, trends and training information for communications people.

Officially debuting Nov. 1, CommPro isn't going to be "another online trade journal," according to Shapiro. She envisions a "convenient one-stop-shop for news and services."
Shapiro wants to partner with online publishers to provide them "another platform to share their content and sell their products."
The free site will feature channels such as social media, "flick-it" headlines (customizable breaking news), original content (deskside interviews), store (webinars, e-books, reports) and an interactive calendar.
Shapiro is joined by Brian Pittman, who was director of content at Daily 'Dog. Todd Fabacher, of software developer Fabacher Interactive Group, is technical guru at the start-up.
