About We Are Local

WHAT:

“We Are Local” combines hyper-local blogging with critical inquiry to explore what impact social media actually has on people’s lives. A number of “social media experts” claim that social media impacts people’s decisions on everything from what to wear to what to brand to buy. Although this may be true for some people, We Are Local doesn’t believe this is the case across the board. The “We Are Local” Project focuses on how social media does or does not help us answer the following questions: What to do Tonight? Where to Eat? What’s Happening? Here, the authors of WAL are going to write about our various (local) experiences in using social media to answer these simple questions and share insights about the conclusions we came to, our experiences and our sources. Social Media is certainly relevant for some people but is it relevant to everyone?

WHO:

Christina had an idea and she asked her friends to help. Then they asked their friends. But WAL is not exclusive. If you’re interested in participating in the project, email christina here or send general inquiries about the project here.
