The pros and cons of newspapers partnering with 'citizen journalism' networks

The pros and cons of newspapers partnering with 'citizen journalism' networks: "Bleacher Report, which calls itself 'the Web's largest sports network powered by citizen sportswriters,' made a big breakthrough for itself on Feb. 22... and the citizen journalism movement.
The company announced it was beginning a partnership with Hearst to introduce local online editions in the newspaper publisher's four largest markets, including San Francisco Chronicle's SFGate, the Houston's Chronicle's Chron.com, the San Antonio Express-News' MySan Antonio.com, and Seattlepi.com. Essentially, headlines will be pulled into the main sports page, highlighting local content from Bleacher Report's citizen journalists."
