We’re excited to introduce our new project: This Tallahassee Believes. And we couldn’t be more thrilled than we are to have the help of the international project This I Believe with our launch (check out the green “community” tab on the right side of their front page). This I Believe, based on the 1950′s radio series hosted by Edward R. Murrow, asks people to explore their most earnestly held beliefs in a deeply personal essay. We think these essays help us understand our neighbor who might not agree with us politically, and maybe even love them just a little bit. Submit an essay to us and you’ll be automatically entered into a drawing for two dinner tickets for the upcoming Dinner at the Square. And, as if all this wasn’t exciting enough already, This I Believe has given Tallahassee our very own submission page for your chance to be on the radio across America (and the world). You can even read essays by your neighbors online here. To learn more about our project, get guidelines for writing, or to submit your essay click here.
