Today’s Business North has two high profile stories by Beth Bily that detail Internet projects based on or near the Iron Range. One details the Herculean challenges faced by the “reverse publication” initiative over at Hometown Focus. The other details the activities of the KAXE Community Web Project (which has contracted me to do training sessions in the past).
These are yet more examples of the kinds of things we can do by increasing Internet literacy, usage, speed and access in this region. It also gives you an idea of what small town media outlets might be able to do once their readers are more familiar with the Internet. But there will be some rough years until we get to that point.
