Newspapers working with the competition?

I came across this today while looking for something else online .... it's from The Institute of Interactive Journalism at American University in Washington, DC and dated August 17, 2009.

Five news organizations around the country have each agreed to work with at least five hyperlocal news sites or producers in their communities in a Networked Journalism pilot project to gather ideas and lessons for future content collaborations, American University’s J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism announced today.

The one-year project is funded with a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The funds will support a liaison at the newspaper and provide small stipends to local partners.

I think this is the only way to go in the future ... what do you think?
