FROM THE ARTICLE: In a bid to stay relevant in today’s increasingly digital world many daily newspapers have had to include user-generated content (UGC) and community journalism, the move by the Chicago Tribune signals it’s ready to accept this reality. TRIB Local will let Internet users write and submit stories from their neigborhoods. The website also encourages users to upload images and other content they feel is relevant to others living in the greater Chicago area. Although most of the content gathered on this new website will stay on the website the website does explain this content may show up in the weekly print edition delivered every Thursday with the Tribune.
