Herald-Tribune does deal with OhMyNews
The International Herald-Tribune, which is owned by the New York Times, has signed a deal with the South Korean “citizen journalism” site OhMyNews.com that will see stories from the service appear in the IHT. Here’s an excerpt of the story from the Guardian’s media section:
A deal with a South Korean news website, OhmyNews International, could see so-called “citizen journalists” appearing alongside established writers. The agreement is believed to be an attempt to boost the Herald Tribune’s coverage of Asia. OhmyNews has been described as a news equivalent of Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia written by its users.
Anyone can submit an article to OhmyNews and about three-quarters of the stories on the site are the work of the network’s 40,000 non-professional contributors. The rest come from about 50 in-house writers and editors, who also vet the public material to decide what is printed.
