One of the ideas I brought up in class was a blog that would be similar in nature to “Humans of New York,” but would instead be about the pets of New York. Many people have interesting stories about how they have rescued or adopted their pets, which I believe the public would find interesting. This blog is necessary to shed light on the nature of adoption in a journalistic format, while also acting as a platform to promote adoption. I believe it could be a fun and enjoyable blog that would still be serving a greater purpose. It would also focus on statistics about adoption specific to New York City.
Another idea I have is a blog about being a vegetarian in New York City. I’m not sure exactly how I would go about this blog or how I could narrow my focus, but it would mostly highlight restaurants and places in NYC where there are vegetarian options, or better yet, entire restaurants devoted to vegetarian clientele. As a vegetarian, I understand how difficult it can sometimes be to maintain a vegetarian lifestyle when it feels like your food choices are limited. I already know several vegetarian friendly places that are worthy of recognition, so this blog would be effective in helping interested readers discover new places.
