While mainstream media organizations are migrating online to establish their presence, digital news organizations are springing up to reach an audience hungry for the latest news.

The Columbia Journalism Review recently created a database of these digital organizations, including original reporting on this new digital journalism landscape. It’s called The News Frontier Database.
Mediabistro’s 10,000 Words interviewed Columbia Journalism Review staff writer Michael Meyer about the News Frontier Database and its current uses.
