Overheard on the Web, and other Web links From The Herald's Research Editor
Tuesday, November 23, 2004
Long awaited
Dan Ricker's Watchdog Report, distributed by email to movers and shakers in South Florida for a few years now, (and also running on Herald.com) is now (finally) a Website, WatchdogReport.net.
Dan Ricker is a citizen who believes in open government, and who has taken on the job of trying to find the stories that go unreported in the daily grind of commission meetings and back-door politics. He's had to solicit contributions to keep the email newsletter going, so the Website will be by subscription too. But there's a free trial on now.
There's even a T-shirt for sale, benefiting Miami High's Moviemakers program.
Every city needs a citizen reporter like Dan Ricker. posted by liz at 10:45 AM
