The Evolving Newsroom

He's not the first, and far from the last, but Seattle Times editor-at-large Mike Fancher 'gets it':

"The Internet has flung the gates open. People are increasingly serving as reporters and editors for themselves and others. Exercising their own news judgment. Telling their own stories in their own voices, " he writes in a post announcing his next move in journalism.

Mr Fancher is retiring from The Seattle Times and setting up a blog on seattletimes.com.
