Needed: A newsroom of reporters who can break news

18 Dec 2007

The New Media is beginning to look a lot like the Old Media, even down to the need for ink-stained wretches.

“It’s no longer enough to take stories from The New York Times, and add a dash of snark. Gawker needs to break and develop more stories.”
Maybe, Nick Denton, the high octane founder of the Gawker media empire of 14 blogs, will reinvent the newsroom for newspapers. He's looking for reporters, preferably with newspaper backgrounds.

More from Scott Karp (Can Blogs Do Journalism?) and Jeff Jarvis (Denton goes to the bench)
