This article has a boat load of information about the collaboration between NYU and the Times. The collaboration produced a hyper-local website called The Local: East Village, and has been live on the NYT website since September.
The article was written almost a year ago, but the information is perfect for our class. He outlines 16 points to explain The Local: East Village, and most of them—maybe all—answer questions we will have to answer in developing our business models.
-His first point defines coverage area.
-His tenth point explains what each institution will contribute to the site.
-His ninth point explains who the contributors will be. **Interesting goal: They don't give a target date, but the ultimate goal is to have 50 percent of content contributed by the community. A content fundraiser of sorts? I like it.
I'll stop there. I'm sorry this post is so wordy but I think this article is valuable. He outlines A LOT of different aspects of the collaboration, and it gave me more of an idea of what we should include in our business plan.
Ok...I'm done. Finally.
