'Seattle Times' Partners with Local News Sites

The Seattle Times has announced a partnership with local news sites as part of a project funded by American Univeristy’s J-Lab.

The Times is one of five newspapers participating in the year-long program. The others are The Miami Herald, The Charlotte Observer, the Asheville (N.C.) Citizen-Times and the online-only TucsonCitizen.com.

According to the project’s announcement, the goal is “to explore new ways to broaden newsgathering capabilities and further connections within the community.”

“We’ve been moving down this track already, but much too slowly,” David Boardman, executive editor of The Seattle Times, said in a statement.
