Oakland Voices Helps People Tell Their Community’s Stories

Posted: 8/31/2012  |  By: Steve Buttry | SteveButtry.wordpress.com

I hope to see more community engagement projects like Oakland Voices. At many of our Digital First Media newsrooms, we organize networks of people already blogging in the community and offer to help people launch blogs. Oakland Voices, a project of the Oakland Tribune, trains and pays people to tell the stories of communities in the East Bay area.
