	There are multiple challenges facing legacy newspaper publishers as they move to the web, according to Lincoln Millstein, senior vp for digital media at Hearst Corp.'s newspapers. First, publishers need to learn how to "be at the end of the user's intent" for information. While a site like nytimes.com has 22 million unique users, he said, Yahoo has 170 million. "Online, we become nothing but niche publishers. We haven't achieved scale," he says. Newspapers need to achieve something of scale, says Millstein, and that will only be possible if set aside differences ~~sand~~ learn how to collaborate in networks. "We need to get away from the silo mentality," he said. "Single siloed newspaper publishers can't achieve scale without participating in someone else's network."

	Earlier this year, Harnisch provided a grant to Kennesaw State University to test an idea ~~called “RepJ~~.” The university is funding a fellowship for a young reporter who was dispatched to the small Minnesota city of Northfield. The goal is to see if the reporter, primarily using the web and extensive outreach to community groups and citizens, can gradually build a support community for civic journalism based on voluntary public subscription.

The goal is to see if the reporter, primarily using the web and extensive outreach to community groups and citizens, can gradually build a support community for civic journalism based on voluntary public subscription.
