Why study bulletin boards???
• They seem to be an important communication tool, because we find them in every community.
• But we don’t know very much about how they are used.
• What is their role in relation to other communication tools, such as newspapers, radio, and television?
• What can we learn about the differences between communities by studying their bulletin boards?

What did we find in Twillingate?
We found 23 Bulletin Boards…
These were in private businesses, a church, the town office, and the public library.

In comparison with some other communities…
• We found that Twillingate’s bulletin boards had a much lower percentage of ‘commercial’ postings.
And a much higher percentage of ‘informal economy’ postings.
What might be the reasons for this?

• We also found that Twillingate had much fewer notices posted having to do with community events or voluntary associations.
What might be the reasons for this??
