Thanks for getting HVTD back on line
For those who regularly contribute to the hartsvilletoday citizen journalism web site, there has been been a real sense of not being able to get the word out. Comments like, “If we can’t post on hvtd then how is anyone going to know?” were common refrains. Doug Fisher worked hard to find a way to recover hvtd. Doug tells us that the Media General owners worked hard to find a solution. He also talked about the individual effort of the Media General programmer who had to build much of the new area by hand.
So, to all those who made this happen, thank you from one contributor. Now we can know sooner rather than later about the Hartsville Red Regime winning first place. We can know sooner rather than later about the exploits of the Hartsville High Running Red Fox football team. We can know sooner rather than later about school issues.
Citizen journalism has many reasons for being. In this note I emphasize the ‘sooner rather than later’ purpose. All who read and contribute understand the ability of the citizenry to be part of the all-important monitoring of our world is a very unique attribute of this thing called citizen journalism. And, when someone writes the history of these changing times, citizen journalism is likely to be much more than a footnote.
Thanks to those who made it happen and welcome back hvtd!
Welcome back, HVTD! We’ve missed you!
