Reuters said it will offer
Pluck Corp.’s BlogBurst blog syndication service to thousands of its media
partners worldwide.
BlogBurst is a blog
syndication network that provides content to several newspapers including the
Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle and Austin (Texas) American-Statesman.
BlogBurst content will be
available to Reuters’ media clients in the coming weeks, Reuters said.
Reuters Media President Chris
Ahearn said its partnership with Pluck is a part of the media company’s strategy
to embrace new digital platforms, including user-generated and moderated
content.
“With Pluck, we will help our
worldwide media partners offer their readers smart and fast access to the best
in the blogosphere,” he said in a statement.
As part of the deal, Reuters
made an undisclosed investment in privately held Pluck.
