Mark Glaser recaps some recent hyper-local citizen's media efforts. This includes some guarded praise for GoSkokie.com. Yup, we never got over the sustainability hump, but hopefully with Medill's brand name on such a project other j-schools are legitimized to take a stab.
Also, GoSkokie isn't completely dead. I should note that a section of Medill students is now posting more traditional stories to GoSkokie. We'll see if that brings things back to life.
