Welcome to the brand-new Keene Observer, the source for localized information regarding your community. I felt that this site was necessary because the residents of Keene are being bombarded with Libertarian media that has disenfranchised many of the residents. With the focus on the community, The Keene Observer shall put a focus on issues that affect the community from the perspective of the community. It is important to note that The Observer is not meant to replace the mainstream media in Keene already. It is a pro-community media outlet that will hopefully work together with the established media to deliver accurate and interesting news to the Keene area.
This site will be the center of all things relating to The Keene Observer. At the top, you will see a menu that will continue to expand as The Observer continues to expand. The important thing that is up there right now is the Forum. Feel free to stop in there and discuss anything that you may have questions about or topics that you would like to get feedback on because this is your place to talk. Also, if you have an op-ed piece that you feel is important enough to be see publicly, email us with it and we'll put it up in a soon to come op-ed section.
So, stop by whenever you have the need to look at the issues going on in Keene and to take a role in the community around us.
Until next time,
Dennis J. Foley

Hello Dennis. Good luck with your blog! New media organizations seem to be popping up every day in Keene. I lived in Keene for 5 months earlier this year and was fascinated by the activism going on there. In fact, I'm starting my own Keene-centric media website called the Keene Consensualist, which will be cared for by people who believe in consensual interactions and peaceful conflict-resolution.
I hope you report events truthfully--that's all any journalist can ask. Once again, good luck!
Thank you!! As a journalism major in college, that will be my goal!
