I grew up with Wolverhampton's Express and Star being delivered to the house every evening and was pleased to see an interview with its deputy Editor Keith Harrison in which he embraces the online operation of the paper.Read the whole article in full here.
I did like this bit about the move towards a more local agenda
"When the comet struck the earth and the dinosaurs were wiped out, the things that survived were the ants and the tiny insects. The comet has now hit the earth and it's the smaller, micro-local news that's going to survive and we're going to grow into the next generation of news delivery, which could be online."
Keith sees micro journalism as the way forward,but carries a proviso that even thouigh the paper carries 60 journalists,500 would be needed to cover everything and that is where citizan journalism comes in to play
