I’ve been neglecting to pass along some important information about new media projects in Northern Minnesota. First, from Jennifer with e-democracy:
New Resource: Minnesota Voices Online
Are you using technology to communicate at the local level? E-lists, websites, blogs, wikis? The Minnesota Voices Online discussion is for people using technology to build community at the local level across Greater Minnesota. Learn more and join from http://e-democracy.org/mnvoices
I have also failed to write a comprehensive post about KAXE’s new venture, Northern Community Internet. This is a fully functional community journalism organization with daily news and blog updates. It also includes free classifieds and is supported by the greatest independent radio organization in all the land (91.7 KAXE, Northern Community Radio).
Other ventures, such as Hometown Focus and MinnPost (the mack daddy of them all right now) are trying different models for the same kind of thing, but it certainly puts Minnesota at the forefront of this kind of community/internet fusion.
I’ll be discussing these items more in a future post, but I best get the links up now.
