We have a few writers and editors (word and photo) in our space, but they're freelance (one is a staff photo editor at a major newsweekly but also freelance writes and does a million other independent things).
But we actually want to start a local publication (online and/or print) that we'd coordinate out of the space. One of the key reasons I started BEAHIVE was to facilitate community involvement (not just our coworking community) — collaborating on projects that benefit our town/ region. And the local publication is one of the big ideas we have to that end. As someone else mentioned, we've been profiled several times in various print outlets and each journalist has been incredibly enthused by what we're doing. scott. > Date: Wed, Aug 19 2009 6:32 am > From: BrianR > > > http://editdesk.wordpress.com/2009/08/18/carrboro-coworking-russell/ > > Most of the folks at our space are web developers and designers.
