fix journalism a conversation about journalism’s future

If you build it, they won’t come

Hey,

I even started the first discussion topic “what’s your favorite beer?” How’s that for a tagline?

It’s another experiment, I want to see how many people will be driven to the site without a journalist. I want to see what it takes to get people to participate on their own. I haven’t decided what kind of informational purpose it serves yet and thus what extras I should add. This combined with my other site or helping me understand where to take The Nevada Sagebrush next year.

I want it to be a portal more than anything. It’s a stopping point, a potential homepage for students. It offers cohesion over Facebook. It offers a place to share your stuff with everyone regardless of profiles – it offers Ningness. :)
