It's Your Newsroom
Dan Barkin of the News & Observer is on stage at the Networked Journalism Summit talking about Your Newsroom, a collaborative news space for North Carolina residence. They've basically handed over the editorial reins to the public, so users can submit their own content relevant to the local community. Photos seem to be a big hit, and they're highlighted prominently at the top of the page. You can also submit your own event listings, blog posts and discussion forums. I remember when the News & Observer was one of the most innovative online newspapers back in the mid-90s, but frankly I lost track of what they've been doing more recently, so I'm looking forward to digging into Your Newsroom to see what they've been doing lately.
