Farmers Market heats up, sounds off

One of the many reasons that living in Athens, Ohio is better than a piece of freshly baked warm bread is a place where such food items are readily available -- the Athens Farmers' Market. In this podcast, Bob Stewart listens to the music of the market, as well as the many reasons folks in Athens cherish their chance to get together every week.



Or download the mp3.

Some of the voices you hear on this podcast:

Jack Wright, Bodie Stewart, Jen Lovejoy, Art Gish ... and many others.

Stewart's presentation to faculty

This presentation was givin 1/30/09 to the JSchool colloquium:

We moved the needle on ATHENSi.com

The last week of January was a big week for our journalism class. We are focusing on increasing Web traffic on ATHENSi.com. We are thinking of journalists as facilitators of a diverse conversation within a community.

We had three days with over 400 unique visitors to ATHENSi.com! On the big snow day, when Ohio University was closed due to weather (for the first time in 10 years), ATHENSi.com had almost 600 visitors.

Let's keep the conversation going.

This is what we've been doing and what we think about it. Check it out.

What we like about ATHENSi.com

This video features the students enrolled in the advanced journalism on the Web course, which is helping to upgrade ATHENSi.com during the winter quarter.
