College Media Can Learn from Small-Town Journalism

Bryan Murley at Reinventing College Media interviews Doug Fisher, instructor at the University of South Carolina and co-author of the study Hartsville Today–The first year of a small-town citizen-journalism site. Murley is interested in which small-town citizen journalism lessons can be applied to college media.

Here is one tip from Fisher:

…if your Web site doesn’t at least have a way to e-mail your stories to friends, you’re missing much of the way college students and other young people get their news these days-by referrals.

    This is indeed interesting, especially when you consider that nothing noteworthy has occured in that part of S.C. since the Revolutionary War. I’d know as I grew up in neighboring Kershaw, SC.

    I wonder if this is a case of anything newsworthy still never happening in Hartsville SC, but we now have more people to tell us so?
