Stay Informed
A major difference between IChagrin.com and traditional newspapers is that the news on the site changes all day every day. You can log onto the site 5 times today and find new items each time. Additionally, you have the benefit of reading the community’s responses to the news items.
Write The News
In a tight-knit community like ours most of us know what’s going on from Main St to the local government to the local schools. We don’t need to rely on “official journalists” to give us the news. Differing human perspective also provides the benefit of point of view. Maybe you’re opposed to the next potential tax hike, maybe you agree wholeheartedly. Either way? Write about it! Get your views out there and get the community talking about it.
- Not sure on the best breed of dog to purchase for your allergic kids? Post a question in the Q&A news section.
- Are you a dentist who is tired of seeing kids come in with preventable dental injuries? Write an article about mouth guards.
- Is your organization having a fabulous family friendly event? Write an article about it, and we’ll all see you there!
Some rules of basic decorum apply, of course. If you’re one of those people who doesn’t really understand “basic decorum” or your spouse has to routinely kick you under the dinner table for your lack of personal filter, click here for rules and policies.
Comment on the News
Have you ever read a story in a local newspaper and disagreed or agreed so strongly to what you’ve read, that you wish that you could tell the reporter directly? Well, here’s your chance!Provided that you maintain a minimum level of respect, say what you feel. Disagree, agree, offer a different point of view. The entire community will be better for it. Again, basic decorum applies. Still unsure what that means? Click here
