WaPo’s Charles Pelton talks real sense on how to monetise the newsroom: why aren’t reporters being used to make money? Read on: “Many organizations still believe that merely assisting in such a program would compromise reporters and editors’ professional ethics…. That’s balderdash. What counts is honest disclosure about such relationships, and holding reporters and editors accountable – just like sources are held accountable – for what they produce. In my view it is silly to anguish over the nuances of attribution rules, i.e., whether material discussed at a seminar by source-participants should be on- or off-the-record, or not-for-attribution.”

There seem to be more sites parodying the regional press than analyzing it at the moment, so this is a welcome addition: “The nether regions will explore what makes the regional media so special: the odd and entertaining trends and quirks of its news coverage; the relentless pandering towards popular community causes; tear-jerking ultra-local outrages; and baffling letters from members of the public. It will not be offering collectable tokens allowing readers to qualify for cut-price StenaLine ferry tickets between Harwich and the Hook of Holland.”
