You may have noticed in recent months how many opportunities we have for readers to take part in our news-gathering business.
We've always allowed readers to offer letters to the editor, and we even have our popular Sound Off column in the print edition.
Online we are now posting our daily story budget and asking readers for their suggestions and comments.
But there is another very important area in which we are teaming with citizens journalists to deliver more news and viewpoints every day via our website, DelcoTimes.com
We currently have a roster of 70 bloggers who write on everything from municipal government, sports to our very popular daily Top 10 list.
Now we want to add your voice to those being heard on DelcoTimes.com.
Ever though you'd like to write a blog? This is your chance. We are holding a meeting Thursday night here are the Daily Times Community Media Lab. You can meet some of our established bloggers as well as me. We'll talk about the whole idea of blogging and getting news from more sources and putting in front of our readers eyes.
One of my goals for 2012 is to increase the number of bloggers focusing on a specific municipality or school board. What I envision is a blogger literally becoming the face of their town. Right now we have dueling blogs that cover the town of Media, while the Chester City Blog focuses on things in Chester.
Why not add your voice to the mix? If you'd like to give it a shot, join us this Thursday night here at the Daily Times. We're going to convene our bloggers meeting at 6 p.m. at our Primos office at 500 Mildred Ave.
If you have a specific question, you can always email me at editor@delcotimes.com, or call at 610-622-8818.
Hope to see you Thursday night.
