'Inquirer' Will Introduce 'Radio-Style' Programming Online

A move in the right direction, but notice that the newspaper still wants to schedule when the interactions between reporters and viewer/users take place. "It's about me" -- don't they get this yet? The radio scheduling is like 15 years too late. "It's about me" viewer/users want to interact when they choose. We just don't live in a pre-scheduled, news at the top of the hour kind of environment these days.

There is a strange sentence about photogs uploading their work " the paper hopes to "purchase wireless accounts for photo staff to allow immediate posting of images from the field," according to the memo." Hmm, I wonder what if they don't just mean phonecams?


The article notes that "I've been surprised that the willingness and ability to adapt to this is going across all age-groups," she told E&P. "And some of my most interested people are at the upper end of the age-groups." Would that were so in academe....Reporters are going to upload pictures that don't make it into print.
