Bridging the Grey “Digital Divide ” - To recruit, train and empower seniors as citizen journalists for an online site and create a model that can be used elsewhere. In partnership with the University of Miami School of Communication, the community foundation will help create, launch and maintain a digital news site for seniors. University students will pair with seniors to train them to report, write and blog. Also, an independent board will ensure operational independence and journalistic standards. The project will empower seniors as journalists and engage them in civic affairs.

Grants: Bridging the Grey Digital Divide (in development) $155,967 beginning in 2009 with a KCI matching grant.
