Recently, I had another great opportunity to sit down and talk with Kansas City journalist Alan McArthur about his new project . . .
The KC Reporter.
He's still tinkering with his CMS and getting his ducks in a row . . . But blogging technology is easy to master, it's coming up with something unique that's hard.
We talked in great detail about what he wants to accomplish and it seems like he has a great game plan and understanding about local news.
Alan McArthur is a young guy that's not even 30 years-old but he's no newbie to the local news game.
Mr. McArthur has worked at The Platte County Landmark and covered some pretty groundbreaking stories at that paper . . .
We already reported that he cleared out some desk space @ City Hall . . . A rather NICE move that we're sure made demoted Star newsie Mike Hendricks at least take notice.
And at important local City Hall meetings he's become a fixture . . . And quite a well-dressed one at that. Dude is always wearing a tie and nice shirt. Which is kind of cool since my trusty blue jacket is now tattered and starting to smell like Brush Creek.
Nevertheless . . .
TKC is all about creating a blog community and putting the newest latest on blast . . . To wit . . . After another conversation with Mr. McArthur and a TKC EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PREVIEW @ what he's planning . . . I can't help but be impressed with another local who is passionate about Kansas City news and willing to take a risk in our growing, local online community.
DEVELOPING . . .
