Core resources

If the Internet teaches us anything, it is that great value comes from leaving core resources in a commons, where they're free for people to build upon as they see fit.

Group exercise: If technology were no obstacle, how would you give readers thorough coverage of a specific local topic using digital tools. How would you use social networking, aggregation, and other techniques to cover the news, build user-generated content and develop communities of interest?

1. What is your topic area? (local education, local government, prep sports, regional travel, economic development, social services)

2. What would success look like?

3. What obstacles would you have to overcome?

4. How would you overcome those obstacles?

5. What are the associated risks?

6. Will the return on investment outweigh the risks? Why or why not?
