News Niftiness, Part 1,458
Editorsweblog reports on two new innovative news features.
One, by the Washington Post in concert with blogging search-engine Technorati, allows readers to seamlessly click through to any blogs related to a particular story. Since editors never knew, in a print world, what readers did after reading a story, this adds one more bit of data to understanding readers', well, reading habits.
And the following post notes that the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet is producing a Playstation Portable (PSP) version of their paper. Given the ergonomic design of the Playstation (easier to handle than a PDA or Crackberry, larger screen than an iPod or phone) and its popularity among younger readers, I'm wondering why a paper with a circulation under 200,000 has pulled this off while other much larger papers are still out of the game.

It's not just the Washington Post -- Newsweek does it too (Post-Newsweek group).
