Paul Wright is director of local media development at Comcast, where he manages EveryBlock. EveryBlock is a hyper-local platform where users can find a variety of information, including public records like crime reports, neighbor discussions, photos people have taken in your neighborhood, and local news reports. During the chat, Wright spoke to Generocity.org about why Comcast decided to launch EveryBlock and why it’s an important program to help connect to the community.
