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:
