Excuse the note as a comment here, but I couldn’t find a private way to contact you.

My name is Liz Viall, and I am a doctoral candidate in the School of Journalism at Indiana University. I am currently working on a dissertation about citizen journalism sites across the United States and would like to talk to you about your Everything Berlin MD site.

Might we schedule a telephone interview to talk about your site and online journalism practices? I believe your insights would add value to my research, and I would enjoy talking to you about citizen journalism. The interview will take 10 to 15 minutes.

I am scheduling interviews beginning next Thursday from 8 a.m. to noon, but can certainly call you at another time if you prefer. Thank you for your time. If you can participate, I will send you a study information sheet – or please send me an email address, and I’ll mail it right away.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Viall

Indiana University
