Melissa Ludtke on the value of editors online

Next up in our series of videos from the Nieman Foundation’s 70th convocation is Melissa Ludtke, my colleague here at the foundation and editor of Nieman Reports. She talks about the value of editing online and recounts an exchange from a few years back she had with Jeff Jarvis.

The fall 2008 issue of Nieman Reports — which focuses on how local and regional newspapers are trying to keep investigative reporting part of their mission — is available online.

Joshua Benton is the senior writer and former director of Nieman Lab. You can reach him via email (joshua_benton@harvard.edu) or Twitter DM (@jbenton).
