Anne C. Nagel commented on Amy Senk's blog post 'Trying to Understand Google'

I was once concerned about Google. Then I realized that my market doesn't care. They don't google their own communities. Community members and loyal readers (and advertisers) came from different sources like Facebook. Google helped my self-esteem, b…

Anne C. Nagel replied to Bob Calo's discussion 'How much is reporting worth?' in the group Emperor's New Clothes

Anne C. Nagel commented on Mark Poepsel's blog post 'Quantum Mechanics, General Relativity and News Business Models'

Research has been question no one is addressing. As I continue to develop my hyperlocal, my biggest unknown has been figuring out how the people in my community use the internet to get information. Seems like a no brainer. In order to determine what…

Profile Information

What kind of org do you work for?

news organization

What do you do?

journalist, businessperson

What strengths/expertise do you have to offer?

I operate a hyperlocal in a small, rural community. Work closely on how community adapts to new technology; In this environment, community is more important that tech. since most groups don't have websites.

Blog URL?

http://atchisoninfo.net

What kind of help/insight do you hope to get from this community?

I need a place to just get ideas. My community is in transition between tech users and non tech users. In rural Kansas many believe the internet uses tubes. I need to know how to grow my site as I figure out who is using the site and how. Found internet users don't want news they can get easier at the coffee shop. Seem to be a future oriented group.

I think we should use the RJI Collaboratory incubator to develop:

Building blocks for geographic- or topic-based local Web news sites, Business assessment tools for local Web news sites, "How-To" handbook

When you started it, what you were doing before you started it, how you're doing in ad sales, etc.? I'll add the basics to the Jurnos wiki. Or, you can join Jurnos wiki and add it yourself. Just let me know.
Cheers, Jane
