Does anyone on #SFBA have experience writing opinion pieces for local news papers? The admin team is about to attempt a draft explaining SFBA and the fediverse to a local paper audience. Ideally, in a way it could be customized to each area of the bay! I’d love to invite our neighbors to join us here 🎉
Also, I’d love to hear about your local paper so I can include them 📰 I would be super excited if you want to write it for your paper too! I’d greatly prefer to have a recommendation come from someone in the community than one of the admin team for the website 😅
