Message to Scooping the News readers

Since this blog and ScoopingtheNews.com launched earlier this year, we've been bringing you the latest news about the U.S. newspaper industry and we've brought you a two-part exclusive interview with a former metro daily newspaper editor. We've also witnessed our readership and Twitter followers increase on a daily basis. The experience has been great thus far, but we want to improve and give you an even better product.

So, how do we plan to accomplish this? Well, in addition to continuing to chronicle the ongoing developments in the U.S. newspaper industry, we plan to start providing content that very few, if any other, blogs dedicated to newspapers give you -- exclusive interviews with current and former newspaper editors. Sure, there are plenty of blogs dedicated to newspapers and even one dedicated to the industry's decline. But, few, if any, conduct original reporting and interviews.

By providing you with content and insight that isn't available anywhere else, we hope your experience reading Scooping the News will only improve. We hope that you will enjoy reading the various perspectives of current and former newspaper editors on the state of the industry and where it is heading. Our theory here at Scooping the News is that consumer demands and changes in technology our driving the industry. Do editors agree? We'll find out.

When will you start to notice more exclusive interviews making their way into blog posts? Well, we can tell you that interviews are already being scheduled and that some of them will be conducted in the following weeks. So, you should start seeing this fresh and unique content some time next month. Until then, you will still get the latest news on the industry right here. Also, in addition to providing exclusive interviews, we will always be your source for industry news.
