Video Pitch: Your urgent feedback/like/sharing needed

[Michelle Ferrier]

Hi folks,

I'm applying for the Poynter Institute video pitch for entrepreneurs. I've posted the video to YouTube, but would LOVE for you to look at it, comment, forward it along and get lots of page views on the video. They are due today at Poynter, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to show a bit of community support for an idea!

To that end, please take the next three minutes and watch this video about LocallyGrownNews.com, the program I launched this past spring.

Hi Michelle,

 

What an excellent and lovely presentation of a great project. You showed that you covered the bases re: initiative, creativity, civic engagement, sustainability, need, unusual news niche. One suggestion I would offer, though it's too late, is to highlight/say something more specific about the content/news that you offer, examples of stories, columns, citizen commentators, etc. that you're harnessing.

You site is beautiful, very well designed. Good luck!

 

Best,

Linda
