He's adapted a model developed through technology - such as radio news announcements or digital news sites - to a context where even access to a newspaper is tremendously limited. I was also interested in how people were reading the "Daily Talk" - it's a tool that promotes literacy. I like the public nature of the board - a gathered crowd always attracts other people's curiosity. I agree with Russell this example is fascinating.

The use of symbols to visibly display news topics and the uniting affect for the community (it's even called "Daily Talk," not "Daily Read" or "Daily Chalkboard") are even of sociological interest.
