And this is how the Internet can be of great value for journalists.

From Pesky Fly in Memphis who is headed to Kingston to cover the Coal Ash Spill.

Well, if not for the weather and automotive issues I’d be on my way to Kingston, TN right now. As it stands I’ll be leaving early tomorrow. One problem though: I don’t know anybody in that particular part of the state.

So if anybody out there in Blogtopia knows someone who lives near the disaster zone who might be able to provide some useful perspective let me know in comments and I’ll arrange for a way to get in touch.

Can you help a journalist out? Pesky Fly is a journalist for the Memphis Flyer. And, this campers, is a new (and might I add free) tool for journalists to enhance the coverage of their stories.Similar Posts:
