The Newspaper of the Future

In Greensboro, N.C., a newspaper is trying to survive. With newspapers’ ever-declining circulation, the News & Record has taken a new approach. It’s taken to the web. Their website has been revamped to include staff-written blogs, forums, online tips, reader-submitted articles, and the editor’s blog even answers readers questions and responds to their criticisms. Current public record information is also hosted (marriages, divorces, etc.). Way cool.

    That’s our local paper. The paper itself sucks, maybe the blogs will be better. Their free weekly does have a cool podcast, though: http://gotriad.com/go/radio

    Thanks for the kind words, Sarah.

    Greg: Please define “sucks.” Seriously, what exactly don’t you like about the paper? How would you make it better? We’re a lot more likely to get better with specific criticism than with general criticism. Thanks.
