Wired Editor’s “Six Tactics of Transparent Media”

Wired Cover

Wired magazine editor Chris Anderson, who also wrote the terrific book The Long Tail, has posted some thoughts on his blog about what a “transparent” media organization would do. In this case, “transparent” means throwing the entire editorial process open for review and comment.

Anderson’s six tactics of transparent media are:

  1. Show who we are.
  2. Show what we’re working on.
  3. “Process as Content”
  4. Privilege the crowd.
  5. Let readers decide what’s best.
  6. Wikifiy everything.

Part 1 of Anderson’s post is here, with Part 2 here. Great reading.
