London (Guardian) Puts Readers Next to Editors

Big, fat, face-plant of a smooch to the Guardian for yet another cool-as-shit conversational news initiative, Newsdesk Live. (h/t to Poynter’s wonderful Jeff Sonderman for bringing this to public attention).

The Guardian is becoming my go-to example worldwide of smart experiments with reader participation in news processes. I don’t know how boss Alan Rusbridger manages to understand what other news executives don’t. But I love him.
