Salt Lake City temple at dusk

Public radio station KCPW in Salt Lake City gave over a live, 20-minute midday interview segment yesterday, June 29, to our Boulder Carbon Tax Tracker project. Blair Feulner, station president and host of the KCPW’s Midday Utah segment, interviewed me about the project, with a focus on Boulder’s global warming initiative and the journalistic challenges of covering it, as well as the basic ideas behind citizen journalism.

Feulner described the project nicely in his intro as a “new way to combine digital journalism and community interaction. … the web-based project is meant to keep the focus on this single community issue, and add to the dialogue a variety of opinions from many sources, including the public, professionals, and city government. The idea is to go beyond the spotty media coverage important community concerns often get.”

Hear the full interview.
