As Individuals and as institutions, it is essential to have our own first-hand mouthpiece in today’s world of communication. Whether we are journalists, teachers, artists or observers, having our own medium is exciting.
Earlier, there were barriers to create our own medium in terms of heavy infrastructure (printing press and broadcast equipment) and distribution (getting the reach). Today with platforms like WordPress.com, it is very easy to create our own medium and gain popularity with quality content and ideas being the prerequisite. I got the idea to speak on this since Kerala is known for its literacy and its vocal masses. The topic though is applicable universally 🙂
My talk would draw references from how i made my own community website, with zero starting investment and programming knowledge, and graduated it eventually to WordPress.org.
I will share quick ideas on how we can create our own medium on WordPress.com and then popularize it step by step towards making it a well read destination.
