Gannett Shifts Newsrooms Around
According to a Wired article, Gannett, which publishes USA Today and a number of dailies in America is shifting around newsrooms and priorities to better use citizen journalism and online tools:
"The initiative emphasizes four goals: Prioritize local news over national news; publish more user-generated content; become 24-7 news operations, in which the newspapers do less and the websites do much more; and finally, use crowdsourcing methods to put readers to work as watchdogs, whistle-blowers and researchers in large, investigative features."
The article mentions what these changes might mean for the newspaper industry.
