EBay Inc. founder and local philanthropist Pierre Omidyar is adding a new title to his resume: media mogul. Omidyar said Wednesday that he plans to launch a local online news service covering public interest and civic matters affecting Hawaii’s communities. The yet-to-be-named venture, which will debut early next year, could serve as a test for other markets, said spokeswoman Sara Steven. “So, we’re starting something up in our own backyard. We are creating a Honolulu-based local news service that will produce original, in-depth reporting and analysis of local issues in Hawai‘i,” Omidyar said in an online post. The news operation will be a for-profit business and will include content generated by staff writers and citizen journalists. It’s part of the Peer News Inc. operation, the Hawaii-based company that Omidyar and former eBay executive Randy Ching set up in 2008.
