Howard Weaver, vice president for news of McClatchy, has started a wiki for staffers and anyone else to comment on the future of the company, which announced a staff reduction of about 10 percent last month.  The Editor and Publisher story is here. It brings citizen-journalism into what has traditionally been a top-down management style. I’m not sure the wiki is the best vehicle, but I strongly encourage other newsroom managers to get tips from whomever and wherever they can.  That’s one reason I leave this blog open to comments, and I’m sure when students return there will be lots.
