This reporter looks at the broad swath of life in Franklin County, Pa., and dissects problems that detract from our quality of life and celebrates those things that make it better. Through a combination of quick hits and deep dives, we will challenge status quo and proposed changes. At times you will drive ideas up from the municipal level, mining freelance coverage and township websites and social media to identify hot topics. At other times you will connect the dots between regional and national trends to the people of Franklin County.
We will introduce our neighbors to each other and connect them with people who need their help and who can help them. This journalist will operate independently, coordinating a plan for each week with a regional editor. Our work will offer context beyond Franklin County, exploring issues that speak to the region of south-central Pennsylvania, if not the entire state. You will also run after significant breaking news, take your own photos and video, and join in community engagement events. You will use various tools to target your audiences, assess your impact and increase your reach.
