Link: Econtent Magazine: Journalism Returns to its (Grass) Roots.
I published an article on community journalism in the June issue of EContent Magazine. Community Journalism provides an outlet for regular folks to share information about their lives, information that most local publications don't cover any more as large media entitites buy local media and produce homogenized material, often far removed from the community.
I interviewed several individuals involved with community journalism including JD Lasica and Dan Gillmor and I looked at a couple of publications that have been working with a community journalism model, the Northwest Voice and iBrattleboro.com.
