Analysis: The Issue

The Issue is a daily updated news site, a ‘blog newspaper’, that consists of links to blog posts. The Issue describes itself:

“The Issue is a non-partisan blog newspaper that provides a window to an emerging world of diverse and informed opinions. We cull the blogosphere for its wise insights, probing analyses, and diverse perspectives, drawing together a borderless newspaper. By combining the democratization and diversity of new media with the format and editorial standards of traditional news, we hope to offer a hybrid news source that provides the best of both worlds.”

The site focus each day on a new issue, e.g. this issue of the EU-African summit. The editors pick different perspectives on that issue from around the blogosphere and then invite it’s users to discuss it. This is how the site is analyzed according to our model:
