Turning the paper into a community forum

Comments[0] by Dave in Blogging
Dan Gillmor on Grassroots Journalism, Etc.: The News & Record: "As noted here before, the News & Record, the newspaper of record in Greensboro, North Carolina, is embarking on one of mainstream journalism's most important experiments: turning the paper into a community forum, 'to build a Web presence that invites readers in to share the news they know and engage in the civic discussion,' as John Robinson, the paper's editor wrote on his blog. (See online editor Lex Alexander's memo, chock-full of ideas, for more.)"
What about the stodgy old Raleigh N&O? Newsobserver.com has newsfeeds now, I guess that's a start. By the way, the N&O newsfeeds are not really hidden behind the registration wall, anybody can get them. Here is the current list:

News
Politics
Business
Sports
College Sports
 Duke
NCSU
UNC
WFU
ECU
 Preps
Canes
Lifestyles
Opinion
