Defining the third model of news publishing, a new tool for curating content, open-sourcing the newsroom and more are found in this week's Digital Media Mash Up, produced by the Center for International Media Assistance.
Here are IJNet's picks from this week's stories:
Digital journalism: we're still waiting for the third model of news publishing
"What works" on the web is not a mystery to publishers any more. The secrets of scaling are no longer confined to a sophomore's sock drawer in a Harvard dorm. (Guardian, 4/13)
