Newspaper Web Sites Offer New Tools for Donors
Local newspapers have always raised money for charities during the holiday season, but now many of them are increasingly using their Web sites to help their readers make better decisions about their giving.
The Washington Post, for instance, today unveiled a new page on its Web site that offers readers an interactive map showcasing charities in the Washington region.
Other newspapers are taking a different approach.
The Chicago Tribune is collaborating with the Web site Good2Gether to create a searchable database of charities in the Chicago area.
The Austin American-Statesman, meanwhile, has given a fresh online look to its 10-year-old series Season of Caring.
