When good news is front page news
To discover and tell stories about Hidden Hamilton, people need to know what I am looking for. What
better opportunity to reach people than an article in The Post - the independent local newspaper that reaches upwards of
140,000 households?
After my interview with Post journalist Amelia Parrott, I
expected a few paragraphs tucked away inside the next edition. When the story
of my blog appeared as the front page feature, I was shocked! Then it dawned on
me that my small local effort must be really welcomed.
That was confirmed in the steady stream of phone calls and
emails I have received all week. From older people who have never touched the internet,
to those for whom it is a second home – the response has been amazing.
Thank you to everyone who has contacted me. I feel very
privileged that you have come to me with your stories. They will be treated
with the care and respect they deserve.
