Here's a little something to keep you entertained on a rainy Sunday. What will you do for the next 32? Congratulations to fellow neighborhood news site MyBallard. Tonight, MyB helped validate small-media local news by winning the Online News Association's Community Collaboration award. The other nominees? The Los Angeles Times and the Miami Herald. Of course, flickr, Urbanspoon, Twitter and Yelp were not nominated. Nor CHS. Maybe next year. Now, enjoy your paper.
We're still on the hunt for a printing partner to help cover the cost of taking the weekly CHS Paper edition up a level by printing and distributing a few copies. Spread the word. Hope you're having a lovely weekend.
A sunny September day on Capitol Hill is not the best time to be in front of a laptop. But it's a fine, fine time to enjoy a printout of the latest CHS print edition. Have a good weekend. This week, we'll also be be making the CHS paper edition available at a few select offline locations. For those of you playing at home, enjoy the download and have a happy Labor Day. Here's the thing about the newspaper business they don't tell you -- shit's complicated. Our jury-rigged system of RSS, feeds, Yahoo! Pipes and PDF newspaper service FeedJournal conspired to knock CHS out of the production game for a few days. But we're back and, starting this Labor Day Weekend, you should see a few copies of the weekly CHS print edition showing up at CHS sponsor businesses and a few of your favorite coffee shops. In the meantime, here's last week's news in a print format. Just like the Seattle Times! Kidding! Really, Frank, it's cool. Just joking. You guys are great.  Seattle Times Originally uploaded by kriskiedis20 The Seattle Times today announced a community news partnership with CHS Capitol Hill Seattle and 3 other less important neighborhood news sites in Seattle, the West Seattle Blog, MyBallard and The Rainier Valley Post. It's an exciting project for CHS to be part of and a recognition of the hard work and good technology behind this site. I'm also especially proud to have CHS prove itself in an environment still very much stuck on the idea that there is one authority on a news site. Yes, a small handful of main contributors and I do a large part of the heavy lifting here but our open, truly community driven format adds an amazing level of extra information gathering, reporting and, my favorite, serendipity to the mix. It's brave of the Seattle Times to work with us in this project. Of course, if they really want to get ready for the future, it's a must. The new partnership will also mean more attention and support for the rest of the Seattle Neighborlogs sites... We survived our first week of competition for your neighborhood news blog attention. To celebrate, here's your weekly CHS paper edition. If you print it, give it to an angel investor. Have a great weekend. Sorry for the late delivery -- a few issues with the behind-the-scenes Google Reader > Yahoo Pipes > FeedJournal system that produces the paper for us. Have a good week.
I'm way up north for a few days on the lovely Kenai Peninsula. Back to the Hill on Monday. In the meantime, here are the CHS highlights from the week that was. As usual, if you print it, share it. Have a great weekend. Here's a wrap-up of the very hot week that was. BTW, we're looking for a printing partner to trade pumping out a hundred CHS paper editions every week in exchange for adding your message to each edition. Hoping to keep it local but getting ready to open up the hunt to include an off-Hill partner. Drop us a line if you are interested. Lots going on up here on the Hill this week: $10,000 parties, new restaurants, and, yes, new coffee shops. Have a great weekend.
To celebrate the start of Seattle's light rail system, we've pulled together several recent articles about light rail on Capitol Hill. It's a bit of a scrapbook of recent coverage and a primer on some of the issues -- and opportunities -- Capitol Hill faces. We also have our regular weekly CHS wrap-up for your downloading pleasure. Seattle enters its light rail public transit era this weekend with free rides and fanfare. If you print this week's copy of the CHS print edition, leave it on the train. Enjoy the sunshine. Enjoy the sunny, warm weekend. If you print it, share it. What assets does a struggling community newspaper have? Not sure. But whatever the Capitol Hill Times has left has been sold. Here is the notice from the Times site:
Buyer of the 'assets' is the Washington Legal Journal. The WLJ bills itself as "a leading legal journal providing indispensable foreclosure industry news and information, including full text Trustee Sale Notices, throughout the Puget Sound area." It's not clear what this will mean for the Times though the notice certainly makes it sound like business as usual for the paper. Assets could include anything from computer hardware... If you print it, bring it to the Cal Anderson picnic and share it. Happy 4th! If you print it, share it. Can also serve as Pride parade sun visor or rain shield -- whichever you need. In case you missed, MyNorthwest.com highlighted the CHS print edition this week so, surely, its greatness is about to be further recognized by all of society. Including you. Thanks for downloading! And, if you print it, share it. Happy weekend. If you print it, share it. Thanks!
If you print it, share it. Have a great weekend. Interested in sponsoring the CHS print edition? Drop us a line. Print it, read it in the sun, share it. Hope you're enjoying a sunny weekend. If you print it, share it. Thanks!
If you print it, share it. Have an excellent weekend. Think this qualifies CHS for WA state's newspaper tax break?
A few more days of the CHS Pledge Drive. If you print it, share it. And consider adding your support.
If you print it, share it. Happy weekend.
