Shopping as content
Ken Sands, managing editor of online and new media online publisher at The Spokesman-Review and a newspaper pioneer at this stuff, takes note of shopping as content on the blog of the Media Center at the American Press Institute.
My favorite might be Bargain Blog at the Greensboro web site. It began in April with a mission of finding "mind-blowing deals." Talk about providing a great reader service...
We do understand that shopping information is valuable content. Props to Mike Fuchs, who, in a parallel life, is our online content editor. He's taking a rare day off today, but you can still read what he discovered about gas prices yesterday.
Update: Other interesting things on the Media Center site: The list of fellowship recipients detail some fascinating and important initiatives in participatory journalism.
