Knighting a New Citizen Journalism Site
Online News Squared: “Knight Ridder revives the name of a former afternoon paper and uses it for the latest effort at citizen journalism at TheColumbiaRecord.com.”
And MicroPersuasion reports on another major newspaper chain getting into the CJ game: "MediaPost: ‘Cox-owned Austin American-Statesman today plans to launch a free community
blogging service on its group of sites. Jim Debth, the American-Statesman’s
Internet general manager, said the paper hopes the addition of citizen
journalists will supplement coverage of large, multifaceted stories, and
eventually boost site traffic as well as ad revenue.’”
