Goodbye print, hello new world

Rue89.com is a French online publication that proves new media can survive and thrive without print. The Guardian explains:

The site does not use citizen journalism, rather a hybrid “pro-am” model – professionals and amateurs working together. The motto is “information with three voices, journalists, experts and readers, working together in the news-gathering process,” [founder Pierre] Haski said. One third of the content comes from non-professional sources, in the form of alerts, testimony and commentaries, but professional journalists have the final say on what goes online.
