At Dirty & Rowdy, California Wines Made Simple

This story was co-published in partnership with Bon Appetit.

One late, breezy Southern evening in 2009, Hardy Wallace — a Massachusetts-born oenophile, working in marketing at Kodak — was sitting at his desk when the phone rang. It was his boss, who was deeply sorry to inform Hardy that times were tough and — like most of his marketing pals at an already troubled Georgia company — he was going to be let go. Hardy vividly remembers the call — his manager’s sympathetic tone, his own ‘thank you’ back to a company he’d been a part of for years. “And then I told him, this was the best day of my life.”

I am very excited to announce that Jersey Shore Hurricane News (JSHN) is a partner in the Community Information Needs Project. The objective of the project is to understand, from the ground up, what kind of information people in various kinds of communities need and seek; how and where they find it; and what their concept of an ideal community information source would be.

Since Hurricane Irene, during which JSHN exploded up to 27,000 “likes” on Facebook in the days after I founded it on August 23, 2011, the outlet has evolved into covering news, traffic, and weather throughout NJ — in real-time — but has always embraced its two-way role. Our community of citizen contributors is our greatest asset. 

We’re disrupting and changing the way the media operates in New Jersey. I encourage you to come visit the Facebook page and scroll through the last few days of coverage to see how we cover news and actively engage our community. 

Come check us out on Facebook and Twitter, and if you are a JSHN contributor, I encourage you to participate in this exciting project!

Thank you.
