The Wall Street Journal takes note

The actual content won't be news to anyone who has been paying attention, but Monday's Wall Street Journal article on citizen journalism, which mentions us, is now out from behind the subscriber firewall.

It doesn't really report anything new about what we and some of our newspaper brethren and sistren are doing ("new" being relative, of course). It's more of a trend piece: Bit by bit, piece by piece, American newspapers are starting, ever so slowly, to catch on. Jay Rosen said this should be national news, and so it is.

Coincidentally, Jay has an interview up today with Bill Grueskin, managing editor of The Wall Street Journal Online, who has some interesting things to say about what places such as ours are up to. Grueskin's site is making money while everyone else is sitting around wondering how to make money, so go give him a read.
