Knight Ridder launches citizen journalism site
Knight Ridder has launched a stand-alone citizen journalism site in South Carolina to complement its newspaper there, The State.
TheColumbiaRecord.com will feature 25 local experts to blog on topics ranging from astronomy to classical arts to forestry. In addition, users will be able to post items, upload photos and submit events the community calendar.
"We are harvesting the power of the Internet to use readers as writers," says Ann Caulkins, president and publisher of The State Publishing Co. "They also can submit photographs to our photo galleries. The content will be segmented by area, which makes it easy to use. Bloggers also will be segmented into areas of interest."
