Public journalism from the streets

Article Abstract:

Public journalism encourage readers to participate in the decision making process of their community through town-hall meetings and focus groups. However, the experience of some community reporters shows that they can stay in touch with community members without resorting to such means. Reporters need to seek out groups and organizations which help them in their local coverage. Longtime owners of retail businesses are the most knowledgeable people about a community. Community development corporations, historical societies, churches, and neighborhood newspapers help in public reportage.
