Pine Plains Views

A Video Celebration of Rural Community

Links and Resources

Pine Plains lost its newspaper a while ago.  Frankly, I miss it.  We can always get news from other papers in the area, but the and local color is missing along with a forum for opinions, announcements and an avenue for businesses to advertize to the community.  It's not the role of Pine Plains Views to provide those services, but I was hoping that some enterprising people would pick up the ball and start either a paper or a community website.  I'd certainly pitch in. 

In the meantime, you can read some of the local press through Google News.  But it's just not the same.  A community without a newspaper says something.

I discovered this station by chance and love it for its mix of NPR, BBC, PRI, and local programming. Its schedule can be erratic, but it is found on 91.9 FM, 1020 AM and, of course, streaming from this link. It's clearly a very personal media effort and I can relate to that!
9   Link   Rural Intelligence
"Rural Intelligence is the brainchild of journalists Marilyn Bethany, who lives full-time in Columbia County, NY, and Dan Shaw, who lives full-time in Litchfield County, CT. They have both worked as editors and reporters at The New York Times and New York Magazine, where they met 20 years ago.

"They created Rural Intelligence because they recognized the need for a reliable information source for people like themselves, who routinely do business and seek recreation and entertainment in four counties—Berkshire, Columbia, northern Dutchess and northern Litchfield—that are spread over three states. This sprawling region, they believe, is not well-served by mainstream media, which tends to hew to conventional jurisdictional and geographic lines. They have taken their combined forty years of experience in print journalism with the technology of the day to create this Rural Intelligence, which treats this uniquely sophisticated region as one big neighborhood. Their hope is that sharing information will foster a sense of community that transcends county and state boundaries. Rural Intelligence is the place where full-time residents and weekenders can come together to share their passion for culture and country life."

Why

I came to Pine Plains a few years ago by choice, not by chance of birth. But the small-town rural community I chose is changing. The farmers have, for the most part, sold to people from the city and fields are becoming lawns.

I am making this journal to preserve what I can of a changing way of life and to share it with the community. On a more personal level, I am making this as a way of holding on to the reasons why I came here.
