Beth Kanter has a great "bloggerview" with Reggie Prim, Community Arts Program Manager at the Walker Arts Center in Minneapolis, and the person responsible for one of their blogs:
Why did the Walker start a blog?
I think that in my own departmental case, the head of the
department wanted an extra way to tap into all the things I was doing
in the community. While I jokingly say it it was a way for my boss to
keep better track of me, the blog also gives me a way to share some of
the interesting things I was coming across in my research on arts and
community with other staff members and our audience....
Words of advice to others
Although we are just starting out, we've utilized our blog mainly
to highlight links and stories of interest but I think a more powerful
way of using a blog (My friend Paul Schmelzer's advice - a pretty top
notch blogger himself - check him out at eyeteeth.com) is to develop
and test ideas over time and to have a public record of the development
of those ideas.
An insightful look inside an organization that's actively experimenting with the medium. Thanks, Beth! (But if "bloggerview" catches on, I'm going to hold you responsible.)
