PrintYorkshire News - A call to action

Do you or have you lived in Yorkshire? Do you want to become part of the Newsvine groups set up to give people from Yorkshire local news for local people? The answer is probably no. I've not come across many Yorkshire Newsviners but I'm hoping to change that.
I've set up two groups. One is for the whole county of Yorkshire and one is for my own fair city of Leeds. I'm hoping that I can find more people who want to write local stuff about Leeds and the rest of Yorkshire. I'm also hoping that in time other people will want to set up their own groups for different towns and cities in Yorkshire.
If you're interested please join this group and tell your Yorkshire friends about it. I also think I'm going to have to do some other things to attract a Leeds and Yorkshire based readership. Does anyone have any ideas?

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Hey, RichardG, and you couldn't have a better cohort than David Rutt. Just visited both papers. I think this is the way Groups was meant to be used. I am so glad I am not alone out here. If I come upon anything that we can use in our pursuits I will certainly pass it on to you.
Building and keeping readership is the first step. To do that people have to know how to find you, read you and then come back again. I have and will continue to place free classifieds for Coshocton News. I have family and friends who will place notices on bulletin boards. I keep talking about Newsvine to every contact I make. I have had the advantage of local papers giving out my url. Letting people know you are around is the first step. The next thing is to have interesting material for readers when they do show up. That takes creativity, maybe a slight bit of sensationalism, and a constant changing of material so those that return are not turned off by a static site.
