The Guardian Launches Second Phase of Open News Trial
UK’s The Guardian is expanding its open journalism experiment with a new live blog that, according to one editor, aims to “bring readers into the heart of our news editing operation.”
Newsdesk Live launched today and will not only incorporate the news organization’s newslist of daily stories but also a comment thread, writes national news editor Dan Roberts. This new feature allows “readers to discuss what’s going on directly rather than having to do so via Twitter,” Roberts explains.
Veteran Guardian journalist Polly Curtis will lead the new blog, which is based on the Guardian’s live blogging system.
