Will they call it APNP?

News from late last week that NowPublic, a Vancouver BC based participatory news network, has partnered with the Associated Press, which calls itself “the essential global news network.”

You can read the press release from the AP, or track reactions to the story at NowPublic.

While the releases so far have been rather light on specifics, this seems like a great partnership, assuming it brings some the APs resources in contact with some of NowPublic’s participants.
