Answer to Question 1

Jake Dobkins writes about New York City on the blog site Gothamist. Instead of drawing a salary from a newspaper as a food and entertainment reporter, he blogs about the latest in New York nightlife. Advertising revenue has been sufficient to support Dobkins and the sites cofounder, Jen Chung. Now with a staff of bloggers, editors, and ad salespeople, these entrepreneurs have expanded to nine cities in four countries.

Answer to Question 2

Newspapers of all sizes would rather run a blog with reader contributions tied into microblogs and social networking sites than pay reporters to write stories about events or issues that would interest only a small segment of their readership. By inviting information and opinion contributions, newspapers are finding that they can reach younger readers who did not grow up reading print newspapers. This trend toward having readers help write online news is called participatory journalism.
