Might be worth adding to that the Chicago News Cooperative, which is becoming a lesson in how NOT to reboot the news. Plans are for a $100 a year paywall ($50 for students) The editor, Jim O'Shea, ex-Tribune person, said: "It's our hypothesis that in this city, more or less everything starts at City Hall." Nothing pro-am, nothing distributed, etc. http://jr.ly/kybw

Coupla key quotes from Cody: "The more people in your beat publish independently, the less your claim to that beat appears valid."..

In a few years we will look back at ‘Citizen Journalism’ as one of those funny things an established profession created to cope with what was obviously putting it out of business. It’s the equivalent, as USC professor Henry Jenkins points out, to someone calling a Ford a ‘Horseless Carriage’ around the turn of the 19th century.
