Welcome to the CMC

Over the past few months, local volunteers and CMC staff have been working on the new Grand Rapids citizen journalism project The Rapidian. Set to go live on September 15th, The Rapidian will be a new local news and information source powered by you. The intention is to empower local residents to not only consume news and information, but to be the reporters as well. CMC will help with training and support so you can use video, audio, photos and text to report of the issues and stories from your community.

Of course, in order to get started, there needs to be good content when the site launches. Would you like to help? Be a launch reporter. Report on the things in GR that matter to you! Sign up at www.therapidian.org to get started.
