Experiment in Dissemination

Posted March 14th, 2006. By Dave Studinski. In From the Editor.

You’ve stumbled upon the latest addition to the DN|Online — welcome to DN|Blog.

This is the Daily News’ testing ground for all things news and opinion. As a newspaper, the DN is typically restricted to the space we have in print, but with the launch of the updated DN|Online in January and the start of this trendy blogging venture this month, we’re able to provide our readers with an entirely different outlook on events and stories.

Through this blog, we’re working to make our editorial process more transparent for our readers. We want you to know what we’re doing behind the scenes today to bring you the latest information tomorrow. We’ve empowered our section editors and various DN staff members with the ability to publish the latest information, thoughts and commentary straight to this site. It can happen anytime, from anywhere and for any reason.

We’ve decided to simplify the process, too. Contrary to other news blog sites, the Daily News is using one blog to publish everything. No more site hopping from section to section or editor to editor — all of our exclusive content is on one page with the ability for you to divide the posts by category. Spend last time digging through multiple windows and more time reading about what matters to you.

We’d love to tell you what to expect on this blog in the coming weeks, but — to be frank — we’re really not sure, either. That’s part of the fun starting this blog — an exciting chance for us to disseminate information and thoughts from the newsroom to the public in a completely unorthodox fashion. While we’ll still continue to post Breaking News and DN|Updates when necessary, you can expect to see news tips and leads posted on DN|Blog before it becomes a story.

Be sure to continue checking DN|Blog for updates 24/7, but more importantly: Get involved! Post your comments and thoughts to ours by using the comment feature built into the blog.

Your feedback is welcomed and encouraged!

Thanks for checking out the site today. We hope to see you back again soon.
