Reuters gives money to Berkman/Global Voices
CyberJournalist covers an announcement today about a Reuters move to provide financial support to Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society and Global Voices Online in particular. That's going to mean ongoing work by GV, more support for Russian and Arabic language bloggers and more trainings in places with little blog activity. Pretty cool move by Reuters. I've been told that many GV bloggers are aspiring MSM journalists, so we'll see how this plays out in terms of bloggyness. Nonetheless, if you've never checked out Global Voices Online you really ought to. It's a great example of blogging's international flavor and reach. Glad to see it will be able to continue its work. Nice also to see another example of old media/new media coming together.
