Global Voices has announced an alliance with Reuters. Reuters has made a “major contribution” to GV via the Berkman Center, which is the home of GV. Reuters will use content created by GV editors and contributors on its Web sites.

I’m finding it hard to be cynical and pessimistic about this. GV gets funded, Reuters has no say in what GV talks about, Reuters’ stories get bottom-up context, and the global voices at Global Voices get heard more broadly. Sounds like good news for news. [Disclosure: I’m a fellow at the Berkman Center, and the founders of GV are good friends.] [Tags: media reuters gv global_voices citizen_journalism journalism]
