Web-Only Newspaper Map is up on Erica Smith’s PaperCuts Blog

Web-only newspapers
Newspapers that have stopped publishing a print edition and have moved to the web

This map and project was inspired by Metaprinter — let Erica know if you have an idea for a project.

How did this turn into a project?

Metaprinter reader Eric Cox director of national sales for PNG Laboratories LLC was looking for a list of related information. I started the list, then started a google maps mashup, realized it would look and act much like the one Erica Smith already has on her papercuts blog. I contacted her about collaborating on the project and she was all for it!

The result is a dynamic map which will provide information about newspapers who have switched to online only publication. Hover over the markers to find detailed info about the newspaper.
