Here’s some news about Arizona journalism that’s not so glum. The folks over at the Arizona Guardian and I were recently profiled again, and our websites are currently being featured in a new report on the PBS network’s MediaShift blog.
This is more great exposure, particularly coming from a prominent blog meant to be “your guide to the digital media revolution.” We were interviewed a few weeks back by Megan Taylor, who writes MediaShift’s Innovation Spotlight series. While technologically we may not be so new, we represent the kind of journalists who previously cut our teeth in print and are now trying to make the most of the technology available to people at all levels.
You may remember a couple weeks ago, the local Phoenix PBS affiliate aired a fantastic segment about the future of Valley journalism, looking specifically at Heat City and the Arizona Guardian. While it’s tough to predict just where this all is headed, it’s clear both sites will continue to do a lot of work and explore the local unknown.
By the way, I’ll be posting an update about donations and where Heat City is headed in the coming days. Thanks for your interest and support!
