Local Media in a Web 2.0 World

The WEB FIRST Newsroom.

April 30, 2008 · No Comments

The video above features the Rockford Register Star and their take on “Journalism 2.0″. It’s a look at how Newspaper companies are smartly transforming their entire staffs into multi-media experts. This is happening within editorial departments, graphics, sales, marketing… you name it.

Some call it a WEB FIRST Newsroom, some call it reverse publishing. I call it ‘the way it needs to be’.

The race in on. In each market, only a few traditional media companies will carve out a successful, profitable online business. Who will those winners be? Hint: Those that do MORE than just dump their traditional content online.

In a fast changing Web 2.0 world, local media companies must use every tool, platform and tactic at their disposal. Thanks to Howard Owens for the tip.
