In case you haven’t heard, the guys from Freedom’s Phoenix are working with Copblock.org to produce a weekly newscast. It’s pretty good right out of the gate, so I added it to LRN.FM and replaced our old not-so-liberty oriented news service. However, weekly isn’t often enough, and news should be more decentralized, so what would be cool is to have 2:00 of news each hour come from the Freedom’s Phoenix crew and 2:00 of news come from NH (Free Keene, Free Grafton, etc). Or, if you’d prefer to do a full 5:00 news block, we could alternate hours – with the Phoenix crew one hour, NH the next, and so-on.
Are you interested in doing this? You theoretically could make money by selling a live sponsor for part of your 2:00. If we had enough people, we could split up the week and make the workload on each person involved fairly low, and perhaps have a daily newscast at some point, but starting at least weekly might be what needs to happen in the beginning.
Reports could be filed from anywhere, via a podcast which our LRN.FM automation system would pick up and put on-the-air nationwide, and of course people could also subscribe to the podcast.
Your thoughts? If you’d like to help, please respond to this topic on the Free Keene Forum.
