START YEAR OFF RIGHT, POST TO VALLEYNEWS.COM.


Byline: -- Alejandro Guzman

Happy New Year to everyone, and welcome to your latest edition of valleynews.com.

I hope everyone made their New Year's resolutions A New Year's Resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a project or a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous. The name comes from the fact that these commitments normally go into effect on New Year's Day and remain until the set  ... if not, it is never too late.

I'm definitely excited to see the kind of stories 2007 will bring.

I'm sure some will be sad and make me cry, while others will be fantastic and make me smile or laugh.

Either way, I'll be satisfied.

The beauty of our community and citizen journalism News and commentary from the public at large. Using wiki sites and blogs, anyone can contribute information about a current event. Also known as "collaborative citizen journalism" (CCJ), "grassroots media" and "personal publishing," the concept behind citizen journalism is that many  project is that no matter what the news is, it becomes ours to share with those around us and brings us closer together.

We no longer have to endure a bad event in our lives without having someone to talk to about it.

We no longer have to keep good news boxed up inside or limit the sharing of positive events to just our friends. We can tell the whole area.

This can prove crucial especially when some injustice Injustice

 has been committed toward us or someone we know.

Before valleynews.com, we alerted our readers and educated them on events and happenings that concerned their everyday lives.

But, with the implementation of our Web site and Thursday print edition, we went the extra step and allowed our citizens to respond and take action.

 should have one common New Year's resolution.

It's imperative not to forget that our democracy always depends on journalism.

In the past, people have died for the kind of freedom the press has today. So take advantage and exercise your right today.
