Since all these 'hip' trendy urban folk, and academic folk are in a podcast craze right now (I do not claim to be trendy, but I am very into podcasts right now) maybe that can be another way for urban and rural folks to connect and understand each other. I mention podcasts in particular because they can be heard on the radio - so they are rather accessible - and take fewer resources to create than documentaries, and can be relatively low-tec. I found this one to be of particular interest: "Rural Radio Network Podcast" (http://kticradio.com/rural-radio-network-podcasts/).. It looks like since the election NPR has also increased its reporting about rural areas, though some may argue that NPR is a member of the liberal elite and cannot broaden this lack of communication and connection by itself. Either way. I think that podcasts and radio programs could offer an authentic sharing of information and culture, possibly without a few of the gimmicks of reality tv? (Full disclosure: I am also a fan of reality tv.) Mollie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424956445753553359noreply@blogger.com
