While I wasn't able to physically attend the site visit to the Bothell-Kenmore Reporter, I actually learned quite a bit, and gathered a plethora of information about the publication. The BKR is a local publication reporting primarily on events, businesses, people and stories deemed news-worthy occurring in the Bothell, Kenmore and Mill Creek area. While the occasional story or tidbit from other neighboring cities may pop up, the focus is local.
As some of my group members have mentioned, the BKR runs with a small, tigh-knit staff of only six members, but regardless creates a multi-faceted offering. Not limited to just news reporting, the BKR offers classifieds listings for buying and selling items, apartment listings, yellow page listings, contests, lifestyle advice, and coupons. After poking around the website and doing research on the publication my first reaction was to be quite impressed actually. After meeting with my group and hearing their initial report about the BKR (mainly the fact that they have such a small staff, and they're centered in Bothell) I thought their attempt at offering a periodical would be rather lacking and flimsy in it's offering, but I was surprised to find myself impressed at it's comprehensive publication.
