Inside Joplin debut a success

After months of planning, a soft launch for the Inside Joplin news site took place at midnight and, thus far, it has received a positive reception.

We ran into some technical difficulties that prevented the reveal of the website as it had been initially planned, but we were able to use a Word Press blog format to show the type of reporting and coverage we will offer, as well as some of the columnists and contributors who will offer our readers provocative and entertaining reading and video.

Approximately 35 posts are available at this point, including investigative coverage of the City of Joplin and the Joplin R-8 School District, the aformeentioned columns and videos, documentary videos on the the burning of the mosque in Joplin July 4, 2012, and the drive to build a new one, and Forest Park Baptist Church's Mission Joplin, which has been a tremendous help to the community ever since the tornado.

We also have posted video sermons from Joplin churches and stories about new programs being offered in the Joplin Schools.

Check out Inside Joplin and let me know what you think.
