I recently accepted a job as an editor and reporter for a news company called Main Street Online, which is launching local news websites around the country, including in Norwalk. The Norwalk site is called TheDailyNorwalk.com and it is scheduled to launch in mid-April.
My beat is schools in Norwalk and surrounding towns; I'll be covering school events, profiling interesting students, teachers and staff and covering the BOE.
I'd love to get interesting story ideas from you. Do you know a teacher that is using an innovative method? A student that has a unique skill or is helping our community in a meaningful way? Is there a special event in your school that you'd like to see get wider coverage? Please drop me a note at norwalknet@gmail.com.
I will continue my work with NorwalkNet on the side, focusing on issues of leadership, governance and interesting state and national educational trends.

Moina I'm both happy and disappointed for you.
ReplyDeleteHappy because you're doing what you love and someone in this town has recognized your talent.
Disappointed because your time will be taken away from this fantastic blog through which you could cover more Norwalk news much better than any other publication.
At least we'll be able to read you in two places.
The school administrators in this town who have been wishing you would just go away have to learn they can never keep a good person down.
Congratulations! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteCertainly is a market that has been misreably underserved.
ReplyDeleteMany, many good wishes as you start a new adventure!
ReplyDeletecongratulations and good luck with the new site!
ReplyDeleteYou might want to go interview Dr. Ken Martinelli, the science specialst for NPS. He's getting some very interesting training for teachers through the new CT science center.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
