Ethan Zuckerman of Global Voices Online announces its new partnership with Reuters: "We’re especially excited about the relationship because we see a great opportunity to help Reuters - and the global media community as a whole - to understand blogging better and the impact of Citizen’s Media on the world of journalism. We believe that the information, opinions and perspective that bloggers share complement conventional journalism and that bloggers and journalists can work together to give us a more accurate and representative picture of events and opinions around the world."

Dean Wright, Reuters' global managing editor for consumer services, in a brief article in the Guardian on the partnership: "We need to open our website to other voices. There are a lot of conversations going on around news these days and we want to tap into that."

Explains the piece: "The blog content will be displayed in two ways - either as clearly labelled posts within the company's own websites, or as a link to a separate website placed at the end of a Reuters story offering readers a broader perspective."
