Our Socials: A Bulletin Board for the community from the community
A recap of our recent content plus bonus content.
From rainbow to lightning action, to purple skies and rays, these are just three of the photos above we received from hundreds and hundreds of pictures we received last night after asking the community if they had any to share.
As Reno hurtles along, it’s been our intention from the start of this initiative to build trust with the community through the courage and the uniqueness of our own coverage, and to be a mirror and bulletin board of local concerns, accomplishments, worries, aspirations, memorials …. the whole bag, free of charge and advertisements, from the gritty to the pretty, the happy to the terribly tragic, the micro to the macro.
Many of our articles themselves are now reader prompted, such as one we did this week about a patient concerned his nurse told him she had to chart on her own time without pay or another about a local having her date steal her prized dog. Videos we receive which we repost are sometimes disturbing, but these are real and raw, not filtered for polite company, filters which can often get in the way of the truth, however disturbing it might be.
We believe community initiated news is vital to keep each other informed about local issues in a frank, direct way, while we collectively work towards progress for all and keep those in power accountable.
This type of coverage provides a window into hyper-local realities national and mainstream news organizations, consumed by advertising pressures, the directives of their ownership, and set ways of what news should or shouldn’t be, often miss, treading that middle ground but lacking in the big picture and in those little details we like to focus on here thanks to all your contributions.
Thank you for sending along all the photos last night, as well as all the alerts and videos you’ve been sending us in recent weeks of what stopped you in your tracks to document, from crashes to fires, from fights to protests, from the gutters to the sky above us.
