The "NPR Community"

NPR recently started their "NPR Community" initiative, explaining that: "We are making it possible for anyone who registers with us to comment on a story and to create a profile page where many interesting things can happen. We are providing a forum for infinite conversations on NPR.org. Our hopes are high. We hope the conversations will be smart and generous of spirit. We hope the adventure is exciting, fun, helpful and informative. This is important for the NPR community."

Current chatter in the NPR Community includes stories and comments with titles ranging from "House Rejects Bailout Bill; Wall Street Shudders," and "Palin Tries For Second Act On The Road," to "Exclusive Preview: Bob Dylan's 'Tell Tale Signs.'

NPR just barely beat WAER with their release of this community initiative! Very similar to their idea, the WAER Blog will serve the same purpose, but for the WAER listenership, in the Central New York area. We want to provide you, our listeners, with a forum in which you can voice your opinions on the issues most relevant to our community. Stay tuned on this issue, as we will be "going public" with the WAER Blog soon!
