Online Blogs

Stock, M. J., The Wawascene. My personal blog site averaged between 50,000 and 100,000 hits per month. The target audience was the local and regional community with an emphasis on local educational issues. While this was not a formal publication, it clearly represents a new forum for communicating with the public in a written format.
