You've found a blog soon to contain observations, thoughts and whimsical musings from the staff at the Methow Valley News. This in-house posting board is part of our efforts to expand the paper's online offerings and go beyond the printed issue. The Snooze is a work in progress and we're not entirely sure what direction it will ultimately go – hopefully it will take many different paths.
Readers of The Snooze will be able to respond to posts, even anonymously, if desired. This aspect of cyber-communication is new terrain for us in the printed page world. We'll see how it goes, and instead of laying out the standard guidelines for appropriate commentary, we'll initially trust that folks will respond with respect and thoughtfulness. Of course, there is always the delete button, not that anyone at the News desires to oversee this blog 24/7.
So, thanks for visiting the site and, like so many things in life, we'll see where all of this goes.
Stay tuned!

ReplyDeleteHmm.. .Anonymity and accountability often don't play well together. Sure you want this?
ReplyDeleteJust because you CAN remain anonymous, does not mean that you have to. We encourage people to sign their real names to their comments, as we will on this end.

I agree with the anonymous' comment #2. Let the mud-slinging begin!
