Our sports staff members have been the most Web-friendly so far. They seem to be motivated when they see what other newspaper and TV stations in our area are doing. For them, it's all about doing things better than the "bigger guys." For instance, they wanted to put video tidbits from the Huskers' post-game press conferences rather than the full thing. One of the area newspapers posts the them from start to finish, but our sports reporters say they get dull to watch. What strategies have worked in your newsrooms? I'm always open to tips. Andrew, you took the words out of my mouth: “What I find to be the hardest thing is simply getting enough people on the staff to care and even think about web.”

Our sports staff members have been the most Web-friendly so far. They seem to be motivated when they see what other newspaper and TV stations in our area are doing. For them, it’s all about doing things better than the “bigger guys.”

What I find to be the hardest thing is simply getting enough people on the staff to care and even think about web. I think so many (in our paper at least) simply think of the website as something that happens. They think people will just read it and don't think of ways to innovate or facilitate that process. Good post and it's always great to see the guys at CoPress getting coverage. I totally agree that it’s important to get the whole staff thinking of ways to innovate web coverage.

I especially think it's important for those experiments to come from a diverse group of people within your staff. This is something I struggle with at our paper, but ideally, I want to have news reporters and graphic artists and sports beat reporters and everyone else coming up with ideas for how to shape Web coverage. Innovative ideas shouldn't just be coming from the Web department. Ryan, you’re absolutely right about the need for experiments.

There were a number of big picture issues I tried to address while working as photo editor at my old student newspaper, but I wasn't aware of any networks like CoPress. It would have been great to have at the time.
