In response to shrinking newsrooms, costly wire services and an emerging culture of collaboration and participatory media, regional news organizations around the country are starting to build innovative consortiums for sharing content on a statewide or regional basis. Participants see it as a win-win: Securing additional feet on the street, broader distribution of their content and less “me, too” duplication of reporting. How is the public served? And can the public participate?
