A-OK in Oklahoma

Posted on | February 8, 2007 | No Comments

Funny how papers on the coasts seem to struggle with new media… well let’s say struggle more because we’re all struggling with it.
Many papers in the Midwest and Southwest seem to be able to manuever a bit better into New MediaLand, doing hyper-local journalism, connecting much better with their audiences. In L.A., the Times is struggling. In San Francisco, the Chronicle is only now getting it (although it got eaten alive by bloggers during GavinGate) and it lives at the epicenter of new-media development.
No, it’s the Daily Oklahoman that seems be getting it just right, not new media per se, but the intersection and complementary nature of print and online. Assistant M.E. Yvette Walker gives a balanced view of her experiences there in Poynter posting.
Clarity comes over time, and journalists are beginning, I think, to understand the hierarchies of information and how to publish them accordingly. They didn’t as little as a year ago.
