Special Program on WVEW

If you were at the Farmer’s Market last Saturday, you may have noticed a group of teens wandering around recording various sounds. Intrigued, WVEW asked what they were doing. The resulting conversation led to a special live-in studio program to be presented Friday morning (July 31st), from about 8am to 10am.

The students, from Northfield Mount Herman’s summer session, will present and discuss their ‘soundscape’ project.

iBrattleboro and The State of Local News Startups

As a long-time reader and occasional contributor to iBrattleboro, I’m interested in the changes in contribution levels and types over the years. These days the site seems to have a larger proportion of announcements and less original content/commentary than when it started.

If I’m right about this, I’m wondering about the causes of the trend.
