The Shu points us to Yes! Weekly, Greensboro's soon-to-be-published upstart alternative weekly paper.
Their pre-release website indicates to me that they get it from the git go. Their so-far spartan home page has a list of links to not only Greensboro is Talking's weblog, but also all other local media's websites including the Rhino Times and the N&R. They call their link section "Other Guilford Media" which is unprecedented by any local print publication locally, and almost bloglike if you think about it.
By providing their readers with direct links to other media outlets, they demonstrate an understanding of the changing media landscape around here and are setting themselves up as a local news portal. Their 'blogrollish' links point to what has previously been referred to as media competition, but I'm thinking that Yes! Weekly might just understand that the various forms of 'Guilford media' are more accurately media collaborators. We're all striving toward the common goal of dissiminating information to a local audience. Some for profit, some not.
Take note Lex and J.R.
