Reader feedback... before a story is published
On Poynter: California's Ventura Country Star dives further into participatory journalism. The paper's managing editor for new media and technology, John Moore, has started a blog on which he posts the decision-making process that the Star's editors go through every day. Readers have the option of adding their own comments to the blog, virtually involving them in editorial meetings and giving them the possibility to influence the stories that they will be reading the following day. Moore to his readers: "Here's your chance to sit in on those discussions as we look at the stories that are being discussed to run in tomorrow's paper. So pull up a chair and let us know if you agree or disagree with our choices." Another new blog at the Star moves "letters to the editors" from the website to a letters blog after they are edited and approved, essentially allowing comments from readers about readers comments.
