Is this a first? News agencies covering the climate talks in Copenhagen teamed up to create this Facebook fan page.
An alphabet soup of news agencies will post both stories and other material all in one place, and they’re billing it as a place for discussion:
This site is not aimed at replicating the traditional media coverage of such an event but of providing back stories and a forum for analysis and various points of view…
…All [the participating news agencies] are committed to jointly providing a new model for collaborative journalism and reader engagement.
This will be interesting to watch — if nothing else, it’ll be a good spot for climate news junkies to get their Copenhagen fix.
Update: And on the new end of the media spectrum, YouTube and CNN are also using the Copenhagen talks as a platform for new journalism. They’re asking people to submit questions for world leaders.
