Where’s the Web 2.0 newspaper?
A blogger who writes at Webomatica wrote a post recently asking why — if newspapers are doing so poorly and Web 2.0 things such as blogs and social bookmarking sites are doing so well — newspapers aren’t trying to become more Web 2.0-like.
Give every reporter a blog, pay them the same salary, and open each article up to comments. Have users rate each article. If you really want to still have a print edition, only print the articles that are highest ranked. Let users help determine what stories to cover.
Not a bad idea.
