I know it's Christmas and New Year BUT the CBC has really failed us the last few days during the storm. No help at all.
I am wondering - could some of us set up a community based news system that would be able to do a better job in emergencies such as the Blizzard?
I can see an interactive map - power outages, closed roads, video, pictures and commentary.
As the community builds around helping each other manage our way through emergencies, we can surely add more commentary and local news that would in the end offer a viable local news service. Text, audio and video would be easy.
In the end, so would the money. If we could create a truly helpful site, it would get the ads.
What do you think - I am game.
