It was pure inspiration.
Originally I was planning to interview Gazette staff to write a news peg about newspapers embracing online content and changing their paper in accordance to the current financial & advertising crisis.
Then I remembered all the times I've discussed the flood of '08 and it's impact on the city and its residents. And almost every time I could only be surprised at how little college students knew about the national disaster that hit their college hometown.
As I tweeted earlier, I want to educate the students on how the flood affects them.
One of my goals will be to not only educate the students, but to bring about awareness and encourage active community awareness or assistance via volunteer work, donations and a becoming a voice in city planning.
I might also bring up the issue of city planning and the proposals to make Cedar Rapids more like the college town it should be (read: downtown living, late night activities, non alcoholic activities/ activities for persons under 21, etc).
