p2pnet.net News:- Philadelphia Inquirer writers will soon each have a web page so they can “interact about the day’s stories” with readers, says Editor & Publisher, going on:.

“The new initiative, announced in a memo to editors and in an interview with E&P this week, will also include ‘radio-style’ programming online, with certain reporters, columnists, and critics facing readers online in a live Q&A, Inquirer editor Amanda Bennett said. This ‘appointment programming,’ she said, may shift to instant message-style interaction or even one- or two-way audio programs as technology develops.”

Starting at 7:00 am and continuing through the day with scheduled appearances by various staff, the radio-style schedule will kick off with a morning host who’ll gather news from overnight, plus offer traffic reports, weather, and other items.

“In addition to the individual Web pages and ‘appointment programming,’ photographers will soon be able to post photos that don’t make the paper on individual Web pages, and the paper hopes to ‘purchase wireless accounts for photo staff to allow immediate posting of images from the field,’ according to the memo,” says E&P, adding:.

“These changes require Inquirer staff to develop new skills in some cases, but Bennett said they are already making progress, and not just among younger, tech-savvy staff.”
