'Inquirer' to introduce 'radio-style' programming online
The Philadelphia Inquirer is launching a massive new project which will give every reporter and columnist for the newspaper a Web page where readers and journalists can interact about the day's stories. The first 10 of these will launch June 16.
According to E&P, the new initiative "will also include 'radio-style' programming online, with certain reporters, columnists, and critics facing readers online in a live Q&A, Inquirer editor Amanda Bennett said. This 'appointment programming,' she said, may shift to instant message-style interaction or even one- or two-way audio programs as technology develops.
The radio-style schedule, when it is introduced, will begin at 7 a.m., and continue through the day with scheduled appearances by various staff, the memo said. The first block of the day will be a "morning host," who will gather news from overnight, plus offer traffic reports, weather, and other items.In addition to the individual Web pages and "appointment programming," photographers will soon be able to post photos that don't make the paper on individual Web pages, and the paper hopes to "purchase wireless accounts for photo staff to allow immediate posting of images from the field," according to the memo.
