Thanks for taking the time to write, Evelyn. Knowing when to stop reporting and when to start writing can be hard enough without having to factor in the emotional connection. As much as I want to read about your experiences, the most important thing is that you are having them. I hope that makes sense to you.

Thanks Stacy so much for your donation and more importantly knowing you care. What I’m really finding is that post-disaster story was easy to tell. Fairly black-and-white, but there is much more nuances, layers and complexity now a year later. A wide variety of responses and reactions individually as well as community and nationwide aid and recovery efforts that run the gamut.
Being a participative journalist is much harder than I imagined. And much richer too. I feel like I’m spending too much of my time today in the press center. And alternatively, I was feeling guilty that I was spending too much of my time rest of the week experiencing, conversing and gathering material. And not writing. How to do both well?
Much of the media on the morning of the Dec 26th ceremony swoops in for a half-hour soundbite and files their dispatch and off they go. I’m not sure how you really capture what’s happened to this island and its people in the past year that way. I’ve spent five days on this island – not to mention last year and my first time 14 years ago – and I feel I’ve only scratched the surface.
Well, it’s a rewarding challenge anyway. Thanks!

Comment on Changing Linguistic Gears by Seth de l'Isle

“Citizen Journalism” seems to have more mind share; it might be too late to change that. I would like to draw a distinction between two kinds of projects to which we might apply this label. The first involves media companies who enlist the aid of their readers to improve on the news as a product, as you suggest:
“…allowing folks nearest the ground, if you will, to provide the news directly to other readers.”
Grassroots journalism implies a democratization of how a community chooses to understand current events.
