There were no first editions to hand out at the Forum this morning. But there was great interest in the developing story of Westside Connect, a new media venture on the west side of Charlotte. There were also people in the room hopeful that they could link Katrina Louis and Emiene Wright to stories from and about an underserved area of Charlotte.

And Louis and Wright were all ears.

QCity Metro is a for-profit company with a digital presence in Charlotte for more than a decade. Westside Connect is a multi-platform media project under Glenn Burkins’ QCity Metro umbrella that is launching with initial grant support from the Knight Foundation.
