A partnership that would have been pretty unthinkable for the pre-John Paton JRC. ProPublica’s Mike Webb:
This morning, ProPublica and Digital First Media announced a partnership where the two news organizations will work together to develop local stories in markets across the country using ProPublica’s national news applications databases. Under the agreement, MediaNews Group, and Journal Register Company newspapers will have pre-publication access to most ProPublica news applications, enabling them to use data from those apps to quickly publish local stories.
Here’s Digital First’s release.
