Mediashift post about my colleagues from Bakersfield.com
Mark Glaser from PBS's Mediashift blog has a great post about a training session at the Knight Digital Media Center in Berkeley, California. It included two of my colleagues at The Bakersfield Californian: Jason Sperber, our Community Content Coordinator, and Jennifer Baldwin, Contributions Editor.
What Jennifer says about local users really wanting to see their content in print is true, and it's partly what inspired us to think about how to make it even easier to make that happen through Printcasting. I'll be spending the next two years work on that project, thanks to a generous grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation -- part of their five-year, $25 million Knight News Challenge program.
Speaking of Jason Sperber, he, Mary Russo and a larger cross-company team just launched a new site for local parents using Bakomatic called Raising Bakersfield. It will also have its own print edition. Kudos to them!
