At a pre-conference new media seminar for CEOs, Ken Sands, online editor for the Spokane, WA Spokesman-Review (I'm a subscriber) is giving an overview of their award-winning online news effort. Interestingly, they added depth and transparency to their coverage of the recent allegations of sexual misconduct by then Spokane mayor Jim West by, where possible, adding notes and transcripts that weren't published in print to their stories online -- what we broadcasters would call B-roll. Also interestingly, their 200,000 unique monthly online users are about double their print circulation. --Dennis
