Newspaper Sites to Syndicate Blog Content

In what could be a landmark moment for citizen journalism, four newspapers plan to syndicate bloggers' content on their own sites through a new program called Blogburst. The newspapers include the Washington Post, Houston Chronicle, San Antonio Express-News and the San Francisco Chronicle. The network, operated by Pluck, is seeking bloggers who write about travel, women's issues, technology/gadgets, food/entertainment and local metros.
