This year I worked on a few things that I also wanted to share here at the end of the year.
One was a story about a woman's battle and surviving breast cancer that kicked off breast cancer awareness month that you can find by clicking on this link. Click
Survivor
A website has also been created to showcase the story and become a place to continue the work of the story's subject and that can be found here. Click

Another was a story I wrote the day a friend and community icon passed away. I had done a story years earlier that included a slideshow with this man's own words telling his story. That can be found here. Click

I feel one of the great things about The Meadville Tribune over the years is it committment to visual journalism. We were very early with producing and distributing multimedia and slideshows to our readers.
Beginning back in 2006 we have posted over 400 slideshows and videos since then. Though economic times have made it more difficult for us to find the time to work on multimedia, we still try our best to put out slideshows and as many community images as we can.
Our on-going features showcasing the pictures of each month can stand as a document to the year and the many community activities that make up the lives we live in Crawford County,
We continue to try improving on our visual presentations and grow as journalists and photographers.
If you care to look back at my favorites from 07 and 08 you can click on the picture and icon below to be taken to slideshows.
