Media watchers are paying close attention to what the local newspaper in Lawrence, Kan., is doing.

The World Co., which owns the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper, online and cable news divisions, is providing a model for how the news media may operate in the future. It's led by media-convergence evangelist, Rob Curley.
