Life continues. I am practicing on Wordpress. This is a set of links to newspaper articles and web articles related to the layoffs and demotions at Mount Vernon Public Library. http://mvpldownsizing.wordpress.com/?p=4&preview=true
I am going to suggest a book called We The Media by Dan Gillmor. It is about how the web allows every day people to report on just about anything. It is fundamentally about the end of the division between ordinary people and journalists. Even though the book was written in 2004, it has become even more applicable today than it was before. Citizen journalism is becoming easier and easier to do. I have found the concepts very useful in writing about the layoffs I experienced. It explains the general concepts, not necessarily the tools to use social media as a way to report events. http://oreilly.com/catalog/wemedia/book/index.csp
