Kinsey Wilson, one-time NPR and NYT digital chief, a new adventure: WordPress

Amidst all the troubles with Facebook/media in general, having a public news guy move to one of the longest-running open web properties is certainly interesting.

Here’s Wilson:

WordPress powers millions of news websites, many focused on local communities. I think it creates an opening to work with others to address what is frankly an alarming crisis in local journalism.

Honestly, it feels risky enough posting Twitter, Facebook and YouTube embeds in news stories, knowing they could be deleted or set to private anytime. This just seems like actively asking not to be included.
