Just came across an article about how Winnipeg Free Press making the most of its urban location to set up a cafe and public space for meetings and live chats, bringing together some recent themes from RTH articles (town hall meetings, citizen input, changing ways of accessing information). It was the first newspaper in Canada to launch a news cafe.

The episode also underscores the paper’s changing role as it tries to push some of its newsroom presence out of its suburban office building and into the public, physical realm of its downtown cafe. It’s showing the public how the sausage is made, using more than just the online tools favored by many news organizations.
