Description

On March 15, 2004 I emailed my premier issue of CPR4Democracy – a daily summary of news items I’d found online, along with my own daily commentary. The concept of the “blog” was in its infancy, but I had something different in mind. My goal was to provide my subscribers with the news that they were not getting on their TV or the front page of their favorite newspaper. To do that, I would travel myself to the places in America where things were happening, to report first-hand and combine my daily report with news summaries available on the Internet. The format was short and simple so that my readers would only have to invest a few minutes every day to find out what was happening in the world. There were similar online journalism ventures emerging when I started CPR4Democracy, such as Truthout and BuzzFlash. But CPR4Democracy was different because of the personal commentary that I wrote for each edition. Unlike traditional editorials, I mixed my perspective on current issues and events with my personal story – past and present experiences – that lent a colorful touch that ordinary folks could relate to.
