Project: Niche News Networks
“I'm developing a couple of Webcentric social/news/information networks — one focusing on health, with a subshell about child trauma, and the other about sustainable oceans. Out of this, I hope, will come low- or no-cost Web-shell templates that many of the 11,000+ journalists who have lost their jobs can use to start their own niche news networks.” –Jane Stevens, September 2008
