Subject: Jamaica Observer launches new weblog
Hello from Jamaica's No.1 newspaper ...
As part of a new focus on online journalism the Jamaica Observer launched its first weblog, called Observations, this week:
Observations highlights new ideas, innovations, inspirations, issues and people impacting development in Jamaica and the Caribbean.
There is much happening in the region that is worthwhile yet often goes uncovered, which is where we are trying to make a difference.
Already we have touched on a range of subjects and stories: micro-finance initiatives in our deprived inner city communities; entertainment; converting shipping containers into homes and a Jamaican scientist who shared in the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.
It is early days still, but we are already starting to feature multimedia and as we progress, an increasing range of contributors.
Many of you receiving this e-mail will have already been participants in stories, from when I worked at the Gleaner, so this e-mail also serves to notify of the move - stay in touch!
Please give give any feedback to the blog and its content, and most of all, more information!
There is also room for contributions. So if you have any suggestions, then please get in touch.
Feel free to circulate this e-mail or the weblink: http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/blog
Thanks
