Juvenile Justice Information Exchange (https://jjie.org/tag/community-journalism/)
Aren’t experiments cool? Well, OK, not always. Sometimes the chemistry set blows up, but most of the time you learn something at least. We just finished up an experiment here at JJIE, and thanks to you it was successful. Bill Sanders, a former features writer at the Atlanta Journal Constitution brought us a story idea a few weeks ago about a program designed to warn kids about the dangers of activities that could lead to brain and neck injuries.
Not long ago I was bragging here about how our Juvenile Justice Information Exchange hit the 9,000 unique visitors a month mark. I thought that was really great for a niche journalism site covering juvenile justice issues. Now I am happy to report that by the end of March we hit the 12,000 monthly unique mark. Then last week it was 13,000 and this week it is 14,000 with more than 36,000 monthly page views; we are on a roll. No other entity online or offline convenes 14,000 parents, lawyers, policymakers, teens, system professions, judges and everyday citizens interested in juvenile justice.
