NPR, The University of New Orleans and WWNO are teaming up to help fill the news void left by the downsizing of The Times Picayune. The partnership is launching NewOrleansReporter.org. NPR “has decided to make New Orleans its ‘beta’ market to develop a robust online platform for its affiliates nationally.” The project will rely on the public radio funding model with support coming from individual donations, corporate support, foundations and major donors.
There's more information from Poynter.org. The story originally ran in the Wall Street Journal.
