I thoroughly enjoyed Meg's visit this past Monday, most obviously because she is a successful female journalist full of ideas and advice. I like that she chose to spend much of the class brainstorming with us. It had an almost boardroom (or more fittingly a newsroom) feel to it because she initiated conversation and posed questions, but relied on our responses to further the discussion.
The emphasis on the LION conference was fascinating as well. I love the idea of having a community just for small or independent journalism businesses. It's important to have a base that you can rely on and from what Meg shared is sounds like the members of LION are dedicated and enjoy sharing ideas amongst themselves.
Overall I learned a lot this week about hyperlocal journalism and wish I could take a class with Meg next semester.
