The
Future Of Urban Journalism?
The Civic Strategies E-Letter for July 1, 2002
Could this be the future of urban journalism? As
metropolitan dailies cut back on their coverage of local public
issues, other publications or perhaps online entities
will take newspapers' place. If the latter is the case, GothamGazette.com
could be the model.

Rebuilding NYC, Gotham Gazette
These are the numbers: More than 2,800 dead; more than 100,000
jobs lost; more than one million tons of debris removed from Ground
Zero. But from the negative numbers comes the Gotham Gazette,
which is keeping an updated archive of the rebuilding of New York.
The site has current articles that focus on New York's plans for
future buildings and memorials, as well as coverage on the rebuilding
of the city's economy. Stories about the personal impacts the
attacks had on New Yorkers, culled from various online sites,
is listed also. A Calendar of events that include art exhibits,
city meetings, and forums is updated on the site regularly. --Kate

Eye Opener
If you live in New York City, you have almost no excuse for not
being informed about what's going on in your town. No other city
has so many media outlets, both mainstream and alternative
newspapers, radio, TV and online channels. However, there's
always room for another quality operation, so be sure to add
The Eye Opener to your morning news-gathering.
The Eye Opener is the daily email companion of the Gotham
Gazette, a not-for-profit news Web site that recently won an
Online Journalism award and is published by the Citizens Union
Foundation. The newsletter deserves a special mention, too.
Each daily mailing gives you the gist of the day's news, with a
link to details at the site. You decide whether you have read
enough in the newsletter or need to go to the site for more
information.
