Possible Case Studies / types of local media:
- RocWiki http://rocwiki.org/ // http://civicwiki.org
- more of a repository, but ours in Ann Arbor is used to document city changes, etc.
- New Orleans citizen media (MH has source through http://thinknola.com/ )
- DetroitYES forums, many other examples http://detroityes.com/
- Local news blogs, ex http://arborupdate.org
- Libraries and local news? (only a couple progressive examples)
- Local digital "newspapers" with organized funding, ex: http://www.metromodemedia.com/ and cousins
- Down to the scale of neighborhood-level discussion lists?
