A reminder: The Daily Times continues to seek bloggers.
In other words, like Uncle Sam, I Want You! ... to write a blog for DelcoTimes.com.
For years the role of the newspaper as the eyes and ears of the community has been a valued journalistic tradition. We’ve been the watchdogs, keeping tabs on our communities and schools.
But for the most part, that message always flowed in one direction, from the newspaper to our readers.
Today the technology we are swimming in has taken that tradition and turned it on its head.
The newspaper still has a commanding voice in the community, but it’s no longer the only one. Not even close. Today we are one of many.
And now we are looking for members of the community to join us in the news-gathering process.
What we are looking for is local people with a story to tell. It might be a particular niche, such as personal finance, or fitness. We already feature blogs on cooking and one written by Delco moms.
Obviously we are looking people with good writing skills, who have something to say and are capable of delivering that message in a cogent fashion. If this sounds like you, e-mail me at editor@delcotimes.com. Include some writing samples if you wish. Tell us your qualifications and why you think you’d be a good candidate to be one of our community journalists.
Our bloggers will meet the second Thursday of every month. That means our next meeting will be Thursday, Jan. 12, at 6 p.m. We convene here at our offices in beautiful downtown Primos.
Feel free to join us.
