The Forum, a citizen journalism news site created by folks living in several villages in New Hampshire has just won a Knight-Batten Award for Innovations in Journalism. Great kudos for such a grassroots citizen journalism site.
It’s been a while since I wrote here about citizen journalism – my view has not changed. There remains an opportunity for newsagents to embrace citizen journalism and give people a voice. We have the geographic spread. It would reinforce our community connection and demonstrate how small business can make the kind of difference big businesses usually only talk about.
