The Editors Blog0
The Editors WebLog produced by the World Association of Newspapers was launched in January 2004 and is a website dedicated to new media and the effects it is having on the journalism industry.
Designed to inform newspapers and editors about the ever changing industry this website aims to provide a strong future for the print media. As stated on the website, “Our goal is to make sure that editors everywhere understand the effects that ‘new media’ are having on journalism and to provide practical solutions for your newspaper.”
Reporting and analysing the daily developments world wide in the print industry and providing feedback on innovative features and recent developments make this site popular.
Feedback amongst the 1500 daily readers of the site is encouraged.
The main goal is to equip these editors with new information about convergence and new media so that they can immediately implement it in their own environment and bring innovative ideas into the newsroom.
In my opinion this informative website is a great source for learning and conveying new ideas into the newsroom. The industry is ever changing and staying up to date can mean the difference between success and failure.
