Editor: Tell Sweden About Are Blogging Experiment

re: Steve Smith sent the following post from Sweden, where he’s participating in a high-power conference about interactivity and blogging. He would like your input, so he can provide it directly to his audience in the morning. Seems it’s the middle of the night in Sweden now.

Greetings from Kalmar, Sweden. Tuesday, Swedish time, I am speaking to a group of European journalists about the transparent newsroom initiative. I would like to know what our readers think of the (blogging/interactivity) initiative, what works, what doesn’t work, positives and negatives. In short, tell me what I should say to this group remarkably sophisticated and very. very smart journalists and educators about The Spokesman and our imperfect efforts to be more transparent and more accountable. Have our efforts lived up to the promise? Have we let you down? What more should we be doing?

Question: What do you think of The Spokesman-Review’s approach to bloggin/interactivity/transparency?
