When we started Blandin on Broadband a few years ago I spent a lot of time beating the bushes for anything related to broadband. I was lucky if I could find a dozen or so legitimately broadband-focused stories a month. Well, that has certainly changed. Now there are single days when I could report on a dozen broadband stories. I\u2019ve noted this to myself often \u2013 but today I saw evidence that it\u2019s not just that I\u2019m looking for broadband in all the right places.<\/p>\n

This week Insight News<\/a> introduced their latest hire\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

Ivan B. Phifer this week joins McFarlane Media as a technology reporter supporting efforts to expand broadband awareness and utilization in communities of color. Phifer\u2019s work will appear in newspapers serving African and African American, Latino, Asian and American Indian communities.<\/p>\n

The newspapers are members of Minnesota Multicultural Media Consortium, which, in partnership with University of Minnesota\u2019s innovative Urban Research and Outreach Engagement Center (UROC), and the U\u2019s Office for Business and Community Economic Development, have created a network of community public computer centers (PCC) that provide jobs, training and access to high speed internet technology.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I happened upon the article while looking at Bernadine Joselyn\u2019s notes from the TISP meeting earlier this week. (Those notes will appear on this blog later today.) I think it\u2019s exciting that they\u2019ve hired someone to focus on broadband. I look forward to reading future stories. Heck, maybe we can even share notes.<\/p>\n
