Philadelphia Edglings Rethinking Journalism

Apparently, a bunch of folks in Philly are doing more than eating cheesesteak: several recent events demonstrate that that city is on the cusp of big changes.

First, Philadelphis Newspapers was bought by its creditors so the three majors — the Inquirer, the Daily News, and Philly.com — are not longer in local hands.

Second, The William Penn Foundation announced plans for a ‘regional journalism collective’ for the area.

Thirdly, a Bar Camp was held called News Innovation Philadelphia, where Jack Lail referred to the attendees as edglings.
