Editor & Publisher magazine completed a study that found newspapers who are reducing print editions are watching readers migrate to the paper's website.
"Following up on last week’s excellent report on the subtle disruptions caused by newspaper frequency changes, Editor & Publisher looks at the link between reduced frequency and online traffic. Its findings, while preliminary, indicate that newspapers that have backed off from a daily schedule are seeing encouraging reader migration to their websites. At Seattlepi.com, the online successor to the shuttered Post-Intelligencer, unique visitors have grown steadily since the paper went online-only in March , according to executive producer Michelle Nicolosi. “We haven’t lost readers,” she tells Jennifer Saba."

While YouTube has accepted various news-style reports and information from contributors, it has created a separate page to highlight reports and to teach people how to become citizen journalists.
"Ever captured a natural disaster or a crime on your cell-phone

participants afterward? Produced a story about a local issue in your
community? If you've done any of these things or aspire to, then you're
part of the enormous community of citizen reporters on
YouTube
, and this channel is for you.
The
YouTube
Reporters' Center is a new resource to help you learn more about how to
report the news. It features some of the nation's top journalists and
news organizations sharing instructional videos with tips and advice
for better reporting."
