Comments on: A new approach for profitable foreign news reporting http://www.ojr.org/p1982/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=p1982 Focusing on the future of digital journalism Sun, 07 Apr 2013 15:02:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Robert Niles http://www.ojr.org/p1982/#comment-2696 Robert Niles Fri, 10 Jun 2011 11:24:14 +0000 http://www.ojr.org/?p=1982#comment-2696 I am especially intrigued by this type of approach because it extends the idea that I and so many others have been promoting – that news publishing must become an extension of community building in order to prosper.

My daughter is taking French lessons at the local Alliance Francaise, a “club,” if you will, that reflects some of the spirit of this proposal. And it has very effectively cultivated a love for the French language, culture and (a very little bit of) news from my daughter. A similar club with a more explicit news focus could provide some intriguing possibilities for news publishers.

Think creatively, everyone.
