Over at WaPo, we're chugging along at building what we are calling the "WashBiz Blog." I'm getting into the routine of blogging daily about local happenings but the work is not visible yet, largely because the template is under construction.
Patience, I keep telling myself.
One of the trickier pieces is getting a feed built that will import local business headlines from the daily paper. Teaching a computer what a local business story is can be a challenge, but we have some smart cookies on the online side who are figuring it out.
I'm hoping to use the blog to supplement the news we deliver in the paper. We won't be shy about pointing to the work of other news media. We hope to experiment with multi-media over time.
The idea is to give our readers as complete a shot at daily events as possible. How one navigates through all that information is something we'll be finetuning in the weeks and months to come.
