a medium-sized self-congratulatory moment (AKA “we’re #1″, or, “take that Dallas!”)
March 30, 2008
In a very recently released report (PDF), the Project for Excellence in Journalism says that Richmond ranks #1 in community/citizen journalism. If you are reading this, you’re part of what has helped make this happen. Cool, eh?
The report, which name-checks several of the local sites, has some really good things to say about what we are doing:
Most of the news sites offer free classifieds, community calendars, business directory and crime maps about the neighborhood. Taken as a group, these news sites provide a network that provides an extraordinary volume of hyperlocal news from a medium-sized city.

Hurrah for us! I feel like there must be other people out there doing what we are doing.
Bet then again, Richmond is awesomer than just about everywhere else.
