Petaluma newspaper offers citizen's blog

The folks at the Petaluma Argus-Courier have started a blog for their readers to post on, and the move is drawing good reviews from Editor & Publisher.
Petaluma is an interesting town and there are more than enough issues and people to have a good, solid community-driven blog. The Argus-Courier blog features the voices of everyday citizens and has a snazzy design and some interesting posts.
I encourage you to check out this regional example of Citizen Journalism. I have a lot of thoughts on Citizen Journalism and hope to incorporate it more on this blog and in the hard-copy editions of the Elk Grove Citizen. If you have any comments, stories, or information you would like to share as a reader and Citizen Journalist, send them to Jeff Forward at the Citizen.
