I came across this article, Weblogs or ‘Blogs’ging gives the voice to the younger generation’ in the Louisville, Kentucky courier -journal. That led me to this article from Betty Baye who is on the staff and will be the moderator for the blogs. The paper will soon have a blog dubbed “The Hot Spot” featuring 17 Kentucky and Indiana high school and college students. Here’s a quote from her as she embarks on this project:

But new technology rules. Although newpapers have been lumbering along for a century or more by doing some tweaking, it’s been nothing on the order of the revolution that’s happening today.

And so, like everybody else, we must embrace a lot of new ideas about news and the platforms from which it’s to be delivered.

It is about embracing a lot of new ideas and the platforms from which it’s to be delivered. She continues:

Though we may sometimes ask our bloggers to share their views on certain issues, they’ll mostly choose their own subjects. All we ask is that when you disagree, you do so agreeably. 

I look forward to following these blogs when the project is up and going. Wouldn’t it be cool if schools provided the same for our students. Hear! Hear!
