FORCED NEW MEDIA

Two interesting bits from Jeff Jarvis on how The Times-Picayune and nola.com became all-web media in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. In the first he makes the case for a rethinking of the way Pulitzer Prizes are awarded to honour the content, not the container. In the second, he points to a NY Times article on the extraordinary efforts by the Times-Picayune and nola.com and to a link to a relief fund for some of the New Orleans journalists (as many as half of them) who have lost their homes to the disaster.
