News is a conversation
The Spokesman-Review in Spokane is on the online cutting edge, for newspapers, at least. A new blog there intrigues me. It's called "News is a Conversation" -- sound familiar? -- and it is run by readers initiating and talking about the newspaper.
"As part of our effort to increase transparency in journalism, The Spokesman-Review has invited five readers to talk about our news coverage and content on a daily basis: what they like, what they don't like, and what they'd like to see more of. We participate, but the readers lead the conversation here."
We're interested in greater transparency, too. That's pretty much what this blog is about. If we created a blog about the newspaper, would you be interested in participating? Would you read it?

I'm not sure how "online cutting edge" it is when it's more than simple to scrape the e-mails for spammers *grin*.
Public e-mails is one thing, but to display reader e-mails is another. Perpetuating the scaryness = Scary.
Anyhow, I'd probably read the newspaper blog. Always here to help.

You mean we haven't been talking about the newspaper up till now?

Subject: "A Brighet Idea" about high intensity fluorescent lights.
I liked your comments but take exception to "Turning fluorescent bulbs on and off often also can lead to an early end to the bulb, ...." This is certainly true for low intensity fluorescents, both rapid and slow start and incandescents, but I have read, is not true for the high intensity compact lights which lack filaments. Please check this out.
Thank you. George Winchester, Jr.
