WMICentral.com quotes Poynter’s Rick Edmonds about non-traditional journalism outlets:
“Rick Edmonds, media business analyst at The Poynter Institute for Media Studies in St. Petersburg, Fla., said the Goldwater Institute and other non-traditional outlets offer a preview not only of the future journalism landscape but of journalism as a career.
‘There are a lot of experienced journalists, both investigative and otherwise, who are out on the streets due to the cuts newspapers have made,’ Edmonds said. ‘At the same time, a number of efforts are being made that combine non-profit groups and philanthropists to fund them.’ “
