The Northwest Voice - Citizen journalism is my thing!
Profile Information
- What's the name of your company? What can you tell us about it?
- The Northwest Voice magazine, a citizen journalism publication.
The Northwest Voice is a biweekly publication that publishes articles and photos written by people residing or working in Northwest Bakersfield. While mainstream media is necessary, citizen journalism is a new and unique method to celebrate community. Northwest Bakersfield, though just a niche, is a thriving, intelligent microcosm of this great city, and in this magazine, they are able to enjoy the ability to share news that is exclusive and relevant to them.
In true citizen journalism form, contributors must submit their articles, photos, or announcements via our Web site themselves, giving them control of the headline and content and the ability to add pictures to text files. From the content on the Web site, we compile the full color publication.
Advertisers enjoy low rates, the ability to target a specific market, and full color ads at no additional cost.
I like to think of this project as unpracticed, non-professional, straight-from-the- heart journalism.
- What do you consider your professional expertise?
- My expertise is in editing and writing, correct grammar and style.
- What's your company's website?
- http://www.northwestvoice.com
- During the work day, what are you doing?
- I monitor the Web site for new content and take the time to ensure that each "post" is visually appealing. I answer emails and keep in regular contact with our many contributors and columnists. I move content from the Web site to the server and create the "budget" for the next issue. I conduct interviews and occasionally write the cover story. I am the publication's biggest cheerleader and our contributors' biggest fan.
- In your free time, what are you doing?
- I love baseball (go Renegades, go Dodgers!), and I love doing family stuff. We recently joined a bowling league, I love camping and riding our quads. If I don't fall asleep, I love reading, too, and I often write fiction for Woman's World magazine.
- What would you do if you won the lottery?
- I would not change a thing -- I would stop taking a paycheck and continue doing exactly what I'm doing. I was a stay-home mom for over 16 years and am finally working and utilizing my creative side. I wouldn't trade this job for the world.

My name is Mary Ann Hunter, my husband and I have some amazing news to share with you. New technology that is crossing America.
Winalite is a network marketing company who has grown to 1.5 million distributors in the Asian countries in just 2 years with the number 1 income earner making over $400,000 a week. The company has just come to North America and in 8 weeks there's over 10,000 distributors with 2 people making over $10,000 a week.
Winalite has created a feminine napkin superior to any in the world, it has 3 times the absorption and an ionic strip that eliminates odor, bacteria and some women have said their menstrual cramps have been minimized allowing them to sleep at night. This is why they have captured 15% of the market share and Johnson & Johnson's market share has dropped from 30% to 12% in the Asian countries.
The feminine napkin industry is a $100 Billion dollar industry, in comparison to the nutritional industry ($50 Billion) with over a thousand companies competing for that business; Winalite is in an industry where there is no competition. The babies and adult diapers will be here soon for another great share of the market. Please watch the video.
