Calling all Summerfield citizen journalists
One of the goals of our citizen journalism initiative is to create community sites on the Web. Our community news editor, Betsi Robinson, describes the first such site. We're starting in Summerfield.
Soon we'll be contacting churches, schools, civic groups and neighborhood associations in Summerfield to find people interested in becoming "community correspondents," people willing to write short stories about what their groups are up to and snap photos at community events. You know, the civic club's latest effort, the Little League championship, the church mission trip, the neighborhood park project, the school play. We figure you know more about what's going on in your community than we could ever hope to.
...Most of what we'll offer by way of news and photos will be posted first on the Web, with the best of what we get appearing in the printed News & Record each week.
We're excited about the Web-to-print model. This is just the first. Want to participate? I hope you do. E-mail Betsi.

Hey, John, so why Summerfield?

We had to start somewhere, and Summerfield is a big part of the large and growing northwest sector of Guilford County.
