Beacon News blog

The Beacon News in Aurora did a big package of stories and multimedia to mark the one-year anniversary of a crash in Oswego that killed five teens. Most interesting, I thought, was the blog on which the paper hosted a community forum. A panel of experts offered responses to reader comments. Many of those comments were very emotional and raw. There was a good mix of comments from teens, parents and experts.

It's a great example of how we can use a relatively simple and accessible technology - blogs - to build community.

You know, the editor-publisher of that paper is one goofy-looking guy.
