Kansas Press Association Highlights Networked Journalism Project

In writing about J-Lab’s Networked Journalism project, the Kansas Press Association cited the “innovative partnership” between the Lawrence Journal-World and its hyperlocal partners:

PVPost.com, EudoraReporter.com, GardnerEdge.com and KansasCityKansan.com have all agreed to participate in a cooperative with The World Company that allows each partner to use content from one another. The partners, known as the Northeast Kansas News Network, will also explore collaborative marketing, linking and will investigate whether the partnership could form the basis of a regional advertising network.

The grant, which is part of J-Lab’s Networked Journalism project, provides $50,000 to be split between The World Company and the partners.

Jonathan Kealing, assistant director of media strategy at The World Company, is coordinating the project.
