Working with the Knight Digital Media Center at the University of Southern California at Annenberg, the “Four Platform” program set out to “transform” the newsrooms of the 13 newspapers then owned by E.W. Scripps and now known as the “Baker’s Dozen Newspapers” of the Journal Media Group.
The effort, underway since 2012 and led by Mizell Stewart III, includes the Knoxville News Sentinel, where I work. A report on the initiative was issued this past Tuesday: Digital Leads: 10 keys to newsroom transformation.
