I regret to inform you that BeatBlogging.Org’s funding will be running out in about two months. It has been a great ride. We’ve chronicled a lot innovative beat reporters and news organizations and have helped highlight best practices. I hope through the work that we have done that we have helped journalists learn how harness the power of social media, blogging and other Web tools to help improve beat reporting. BeatBlogging.Org will not, however, be disappearing. There is still work to be done and innovation to be chronicled. BeatBlogging.Org is too strong of a brand to let die. - Patrick Thornton
