What is This?
The Community Gazettes, one for each of New York's 51 City Council districts, are a pioneering effort at online community journalism. They are put together by concerned neighbors who become in effect professional journalists, posting ideas about their community, alerting residents of forthcoming events and reporting on concrete problems in the neighborhood such as potholes and broken traffic lights. The gazettes also feature repostings of major news stories about the area from the commercial press and announcements from local officials.
What you see here is a work in progress. We need your help in putting it together. The gazettes are designed as places where people can exchange information and ideas. For them to succeed, we need volunteers to post material, to send us articles from the commercial and local press, and to read and then respond to what others have said. If you are interested, please e-mail webmaster@gothamgazette.com
Sections of the Gazettes
Major Issues Is your neighborhood undergoing major change, facing new problems, making a major decision about the future? Is a big box store opening down the street or a major repair finally getting underway? This section offers brief summaries of the most important ongoing issues, and will be open for posting by Gotham Gazette staff and neighborhood moderators. If you wish to volunteer to be a moderator, e-mail webmaster@gothamgazette.com.
Fix-It Every neighborhood has its concrete problems — potholes, broken street lights, intersections needing stop signs or traffic lots, rubble strewn vacant lots. Anybody can post such problems, and read what others have reported.
Community News These articles from the local and metropolitan press feature the neighborhood in some way. Cut and paste these articles and post them on the site, so that your neighbors can read stories they may have missed.
The Official Word News and announcements provided by local officials, from members of the City Council and State Legislature to police precinct captain and community board district manager. This area is posted by Gotham Gazette staff and by the local officials, who can gain access to the site by requesting a password from us at webmaster@gothamgazette.com.
Calendar What meetings, forums or fun events are scheduled for your community. Post forthcoming events, and find out what you can do in your neighborhood this weekend.
We Need Your Help!
We need volunteers to be Community Gazette moderators — to help edit and select what goes on the site. If you are interested, please e-mail webmaster@gothamgazette.com.
New York is often called a city of neighborhoods. But all too often many of us find it difficult to connect with the organizations, people and events closest to us. With your help, we think Community Gazette can help make bring our communities together and make them stronger. Any comments on our effort, suggestions to improve it? E-mail us at info@gothamgazette.com.
