Newspapers use plenty of vendors to handle their online content. The Oregonian has started posting their photos on Flickr here.
Why is this notable? Because the O doesn’t get any ad money for the photos they post.
What might be the point of this? It’s another way to draw in an audience that wouldn’t otherwise […]
Each day this new blog, Today’s Rock Stars, writes up the newspapers that use the rock star metaphor in their articles. Yesterday it was some Canadian and Stephen Hawking. “It’s a rare day with neither sports rock stars nor political rock stars” wrote the narrator, Matt Gill.
