The University of Blog

Intersection is going well. We sent our launch date to be October 12. That leaves some things to figure out. First is about our topics. It’s important to figure out topics that will interest a wide variety of people. A few topics that we are researching include localizing healthcare, cameras in the parking garages as well as rural issues in Missouri. It needs to be specific enough so the conversation can be limited to one hour, however it needs to be broad enough that people will tune in. Another issue we are figuring out is whether or not we’ll have our soft launch on October 12 and then a hard launch two weeks later or market the heck out of it before October 12. These are just issues that need to be sorted out.

However, I’m pretty excited about the entire process. While we aren’t in the thick of yet, it’s great to be able to think about ideas that will affect Columbia and Mid Missouri. I’m paying attention to what community members are commenting on stories and how they are feeling generally. When I was ushering, a lady mentioned that she was interested in tasers and local artists. It’s worth asking people and spreading the word about this show. I think that a ton of community members would be involved, if only they know how to be. This will be the challenge that Lindsey and I will need to face.
