New York newsrooms using AP tool


News organizations in New York state are using AP StoryShare in a project supported by the Google News Initiative, the AP reports.
The AP created the tool to encourage collaboration and boost local news.
The effort started in January.
So far, more than 200 stories have been shared by outlets including The (Albany) Times Union,  the (Utica) Observer-Dispatch and the Niagara Gazette, AP says. Photos are also being shared. More than two dozen news organizations are involved, according to AP.
Participating newsrooms can republish each other’s stories and photos in their papers.
“We are delighted that AP StoryShare is helping newsrooms with what they need most: more local and state news coverage for their communities,” said AP Deputy Managing Editor for U.S. News Noreen Gillespie. “This platform provides an easy way for news outlets to connect with each other in the shared — and critical — interest of preserving local news.”
