I'm a person with opinions as well so I respect this. And as I'm not coming forward as a trained, dedicated journalist, no one should just believe anything I say without vetting it. As JenX says, there are American news deserts. I feel these are being filled in by various social media conversations without the credibility of unbiased journalistic standards coming into play. In my town, the local Journalism School (w MU) fills in that gap. @CoMissourian is student-ran

Since we have this very active J-School in , and we have another paper, we are not in a news desert. If you are, though, do you know if there is a trained or dedicated person filling in the gap in some way? Not necessarily speaking to the other people 'at'ed in the convo with me, but to anyone reading this. A great example is Twin City's based @bringmethenews.
