The ''St. Louis Beacon'' was an online-only news site in the greater St. Louis area. Several of the site's founders include former reporters and editors from the ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch''. Funded largely by outside donations, the ''Beacon'' had 15 paid staffers and dozens of outside contributors.〔 ''Beacon'' coverage trends toward public issues rather than news events. As an example, the ''St. Louis Journalism Review'' points to the ''Beacons lack of coverage of St. Louis Cardinals' player Albert Pujols' calf injury in June 2008.〔 By contrast, the site, in conjunction with local public television station KETC, reported heavily on the local effects of the mortgage crisis.〔 The ''Beacon'' was organized in 2007, and launched online in March 2008. At that time it was called the ''St. Louis Platform''. In April 2008, its name was changed to the ''St. Louis Beacon''. Effective December 10, 2013, the ''St. Louis Beacon'' merged with St. Louis Public Radio. The ''Beacon'' home page refers readers to the St. Louis Public Radio News web site for staff members' current work, indicating the end of news publishing as the ''St. Louis Beacon''. It was stated that the ''St. Louis Beacon'' site will remain online, to provide archive access, until the archive material becomes available elsewhere. ==See also== * ''St. Louis Globe-Democrat'' * ''St. Louis Sun'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Louis Beacon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
