Becca Martin, the community outreach manager at Ravenswood’s own EveryBlock will be addressing the Greater Rockwell Organization at the May meeting.
Martin is responsible for leading the growth of the EveryBlock community. EveryBlock is one of search engines used by The Bulldog to cover news of interest to the Ravenswood community.
Plus, as we mentioned above, EveryBlock is headquartered in the Ravenswood neighborhood. Originally funded by a grant from the Knight Foundation the company was sold to MSNBC in 2009.
Martin runs a hyper-local news site and social media site much like The Bulldog in the Oak Park suburb. Called LiveHereOakPark, the site also uses social media to build community.
