We discussed journalism and the future for fledgling writers, and I think the interview was worthwhile enough to reprint on this blog...
Check out the first installment here:
"Two weeks ago, the blogger Chartreuse announced Team New Orleans, a group of site-sponsored citizen journalists who will report on the Gulf Coast reconstruction. Mishikea Brathwait, Travis Campbell, Loren Feldman, and Candice Quates were selected for the reporting trip, and an army of bloggers are spreading the word...
"As Chartreuse explained: 'Though they will be mostly on their own there are already interviews set up with people in a 150 mile range. These are people who supposedly have first hand knowledge of some of the atrocities mentioned in the email I received.(They will have to do some traveling but this isn’t a vacation.) The point of this trip is to find out the truth. And to give us a first hand view of what’s happening in the city and the outlying areas.'
Thanks for reprintig that. I actually missed it the first time!
