The links on the right will change. Right now they go to the specific website or an example of the reporters writing. But eventually, the links will point to wherever the reporter is hosting their social network. These networks don't exist right now. But they will -- soon. Each beat will figure it out for themseleves how they want to do it. Dave

It seems like there should be links to the blogs (on the organizations' sites) that Beat Bloggers are going to use, and that this blog is for discussion about the project and beatblogging...Is that right? Is the social network component the comments on the blogs? In any case, I'm excited at what I'm seeing and looking forward to more.

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 09:07:02 +0000 http://beatblogging.org/?p=12#comment-7 I'm so happy to hear that the Dallas Morning News is going to be creating an online community geared towards Dallas area schools. My only concern is that I'm currently under the impression that you are only going to limit your stories to DISD coverage. There are so many wonderful schools in the area who are creating amazing accomplishments, and I so hope that you guys will be able to give all of them the exposure that they too deserve. As a resident of Dallas, who works with a local charter school, I want to learn about the BIG picture of area schools, not just the one with the most influence (DISD). Am I mistaken with my impression, or will the Dallas Morning News include educational coverage beyond the realm of DISD? Thanks, and keep up the good work!
