Not all coverage of the APEC conference next week will be the same.

At Civil Beat, we’re going to focus on two things: How APEC affects those of us who live in Honolulu and what the rest of the world is saying about Honolulu and Hawaii.

We’ll be live 24/7, staying on top of what’s happening in Honolulu and what’s being said about the event across the globe.

We’ll be a one-stop shop, a place where you can read not just the original reporting of our reporter-hosts, but also find out what others are saying about how they’re being treated in Honolulu, what they think of our city and what they think of the event.

We hope you’ll consider us a resource to survive — and enjoy — the week.

We’ve built an entire section of Civil Beat dedicated to APEC. We’ve written a special page to succinctly explain the conference. And we’ve produced a survival guide, with everything from road closures and parking restrictions to beach and surf closures.

USA Today told its readers there were two good places to turn for the “latest updates on APEC,” Civil Beat and the Honolulu Police Department.

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
