Thanks to the good folks who showed up at the blog class at Hibbing Community College last night. I taught the class for KAXE’s Community Journalism Project, an initiative to get people started with community blogging all over northern Minnesota. When we have a strong network of bloggers working, we’ll be able to aggregate a top-notch online news, culture and opinion hub But as with all important things, we must start at the grassroots with organization, organization, organization. We got a start in Hibbing last night.
For more information about the project, go to www.kaxecommons.org.
This is very much a nonprofit operation led by citizens for the good of our entire region. As commercial news gathering operations battle market forces, people on the streets can pick up the slack and take the mass media in a whole new direction.
