GreatStuff on WWJ

This from MichLib-L:

What a shame! Presume there's nothing we can do to influence WWJ, but the publication of the GreatStuff e-newsletter and web site will be suspended effective Sunday, March 8, 2009. Newspapers have been shutting down a lot of this sort of p.r. outlet for announcements, so it will be doubly missed.

Maybe statewide will be better, but it would help to do it by regions. GreatStuff has been so convenient to search whenever seeking something to do in a specific area or a specific type of event. Libraries have especially appreciated this way to spread the word about their programs, in addition my local community theatre & my storytelling guild will both miss this outlet for letting people know about our programs

For those seeking storytelling events in Michigan, at least there's the e-newsletter, MI Story, & I will continue its online version at <http://www.MichiganStorytelling.org>. The Bulletin Board page there started out as a supplement to the e-newsletter, giving more details than the newsletter format permits & adding any late-breaking news. In the past month it began chronicling developing news on the state of arts & culture funding & giving ideas on how to make it self-sustaining & eventually free of the state budget. I suggest becoming a regular reader for now.

I was so sad to see this - this was a great way to get the word out and find out about things - I hope it will come back soon. Do you find this valuable?
