The way it is, the way it will be for newspapers

Mark Glaser of MediaShift is asking for people to add to his


list of ways in which newspapers can enter this new age while retaining their goodness, and remain relevant whether they are delivered online or via new devices or on dead trees. I’ll kick off the list with a few items, and have repurposed an item from a recent Jeff Jarvis blog post on BuzzMachine on this subject.

One item I am going to add is problematic for some teachers in my department especially because the old way doesn't make sense to students:

The way it is: Reporters are discouraged from or sanctioned for "scooping themselves" or using the same source to write different takes on a story.
The way it will be: Reporters will write about issues and ideas across several media, often referring or linking to the related stories they write.
