Digger Digital

Digger Digital is another web project I have been working on in my spare time. I have always been interested in news and how it is delivered. I am currently taking a Journalism class where I am hoping to refine my reporting skills a bit, and I am hoping my new blog Digger Digital can make some waves here in Butte! The concept behind the blog is "Hyper-local" meaning it is made by residents of Butte, for residents of Butte. I got inspired to create this blog after reading the local newspapers and feeling as though the stories were boring. The beauty of a blog is that you can utilize many different news sources to have a good variety of content up there, as well as get feedback from your readers through the use of comments. Another great aspect of blogging is that you don't have to kill any trees to share the news, which is a change of pace from all the newspaper and magazines that go right in the trash after they are done being read. I am hoping with this blog to make some interesting news videos and to write some good articles. Right now I am looking for contributors so if you are interested in becoming a blogger, get in contact with me! Or even if you have a story you think other people should hear about, my contact information is on the staff page.
