TweenTribune is a free, not-for-profit online newspaper for kids, aged 8–15. It is updated daily with stories from the Associated Press that are chosen based on relevancy to pre-adolescents. Tweens can post comments to the stories which are moderated by their teachers, and teachers can use the site as a resource for meeting No Child Left Behind requirements for reading, writing and computer skills. The site first appeared on Nov 21, 2008. TweenTribune has been featured in articles in the ''Los Angeles Times'',〔(News website pins its hopes on tweens ) by James Rainey of the ''Los Angeles Times''〕 ''Good Housekeeping''〔(Web sites with news for tweens ) By Jen Singer of ''Goodhousekeeping.com'' 〕 and ''Family Circle''〔(Reference to story in Family Circle magazine ), December 2009 by Nina Elias, ''Family Circle'' 〕 magazine (December 2009). ==Financial model== TweenTribune.com is a proof-of-concept model for new ways to fund journalism online. The site employs a series of previously untried methods for building audience and revenue. These strategies grew audience and revenue in a matter of weeks, but it remains too soon to tell whether these strategies are the "silver bullet" that media companies seek to funding journalism〔(Are tweens the solution to the newspaper crisis? ) by Brian Reich of (Wemedia.com )〕 in the digital age. Quoted on Dec. 15, 2009, James Rainey of the Los Angeles Times said founder Alan Jacobson's "ebullient innovation〔(Newspaper epitaph: ‘Who else is doing it?’ ) by Alan Mutter, former editor at the San Francisco Chronicle, media consultant and instructor at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California- Berkeley〕 opens a door for an underserved audience and provides the kind of incremental revenue that, strand by strand, eventually just might rope journalism back to a financial mooring."〔(News website pins its hopes on tweens ) by James Rainey of the ''Los Angeles Times''〕 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「TweenTribune」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
