Community Issue Forums
Since 1996, in various capacities with Northfield.org, Locally Grown co-host Griff Wigley moderated a series of time-limited, online community forums that featured panels, interviews, and group discussion with community leaders about issues relevant to local citizens.
At times, NCO teamed up with the Northfield News, KYMN Radio, the City of Northfield, the League of Women Voters Northfield, NTV, and other local organizations to host these time-limited events. Griff saw this as an effective way for citizens to become more informed about an issue through simultaneous channels: the Internet, newspaper, radio, TV, and F2F (face-to-face).
