If there is one things newspapers do not do well - it is telling their own stories. Newspapers, or at least local journalism does matter to people and is an integral part of most local communities.
The Telegraph is launching a bit of a public awareness campaign to talk about some of the things the paper does to be part of our community. As part of the campaign Chief Photographer Don Himsel produced this short video:
Telegraph staff photographer Corey Perrine is the 2008 National Press Photographers Association Region One Photographer of the Year following his victory in the group’s year-long monthly clips contest.
Perrine competed with photographers from across New England by entering photographs published in the newspaper each month.
His winning entries from throughout the year are below:

Well OK, online pretty much every year is a ‘beta test’ but for the Telegraph 2009 will be especially so.
We have a number of major projects on the horizon - including a complete replacement of both our print and Web content management systems. That transition, which is planned for late summer, will require us to [...]
I spent the morning at the New England New Media Association workshop in Lowell Mass. Steve Garfield, video blogger extraordinaire was on the opening panel discussion and hit me with a 30-second live streaming interview to demonstrate the technology:
The interview was done with a Nokia N95 and of course, Qik.com.
Sen. John McCain was in New Hampshire for a rally this morning - but this is not about McCain, or really even about the upcoming election. However, it is about politics and real or perceived bias.
From the AP: Your staff has obviously studied the material we provided on Member Choice and has a good handle on it. Suffice to say we also are watching the feedback from members closely. See below and thanks again.
Given the shrinking news hole many of us are experiencing, we are using less and less AP content, and paying more and more for the privilege. The Telegraph recently moved from a four-section to a two-section format, loaded with local news in the front section. As a result, we are now using only the top two or three world/nation stories of the day, along with a package of briefs.
The last question in tonight’s presidential debate came from “Peggy” in Amherst, NH.
“What don’t you know and how will you learn it.”
So - who knows Peggy? Who is she - email dkiesow(at)nashuatelegraph.com or comment below.

The Telegraph’s ‘data editor’ David Brooks has started pulling together some details on the proposed Broad Street parkway project and applying them to a map for easy reference. So far we have a list of homes that may/may not be removed along the route as well as a growing collection of ground-level and aerial photos [...]
Not sure why - but people really do love trains. We had a circus train pass through town today and a fair number of people turned out in the rain to watch it go by.
Photojournalist Bob Hammerstrom produced a video of the event:
Caught a new ad from Budweiser during the Pats game today which gave mention of Merrimack and other ‘local’ towns that are part of the Bud family. Here is the aerial photo used for Merrimack. Trying to figure out where this was taken - ostensibly I would have assumed along DW Highway near the river [...]
