(Thanks to Dan Gillmor for the tip on that.) But it also could be an ongoing project, such as several reporters from around the nation or world collaborating on a beat blog (similar, in some respects, to the approach demonstrated by RealClimate, a popular weblog on climate change authored by scientists at various institutions).

Nor are the Pulitzers the sole motivator of journalistic experimentation. Obviously, collaboration is necessary when tackling larger, non-scoopable projects, but not every possible collaboration just happs, Remember that the <i>Times</i> will collaborate with Frontline (or CBS, as they do for polling) before they do with their print competitors. In the case of "collaberation with citizen's media" we might expect <i>cooptation</i> more so than <i>co-opetition</i>. That's how it goes.

In fact, AP is the prime example of news organizations working together as cooperatives.
