The People, Yes

 

The approach to this project has shifted measurably over the past year.

 

After failing to find folks exclusive to the homeless community to blog, I attempted to work with a few advocacy groups in town to cross-post their community work to TPY. Unfortunately, most groups in town do not have a modern communication platform (i.e. blogs, podcast, etc.), so the shift in approach relied on me not only convincing them of the utility of such services, but potentially collaborating to build out such platforms.

 

I'm still interested in providing such services, but the ramp up to launching TPY came to a screeching halt due to such obsticles.

 

So, what one might call failure, I call sketching.

 

A New Approach

In the near future, we'll be holding an open call for local citizen jornalists -- photographers, videographers and interviewees -- to take to the streets, offices, bus stops, bars, etc. of Greensboro, North Carolina to find ordinary people willing to talk about their lives; from their day-to-day realities to their dreams, hopes and aspirations.

 

The website will become a spot for us to post the resulting vignettes.

 

Based on the interest level of the community, we'll decide on where to go from there.
