Sun and Post to share content

CNN Money reports that The Washington Post Co. has entered a partnership with The Baltimore Sun to share content beginning Jan. 1.
The story says the agreement will be primarily focused on daily news coverage of Maryland and sports, and the papers will begin using each other's national, international and feature stories contributed to the Los Angeles Times-Washington Post News Service.

"For example, instead of sending its own reporter to write about a Washington Redskins football game, (Baltimore Sun Editor Timothy) Franklin said the Baltimore Sun will publish the Washington Post's game coverage. In other areas where the two papers compete head-to-head - Maryland state politics, University of Maryland sports and exclusive stories - each newspaper will continue news coverage on its own. Franklin also said his paper will continue to cover important news events, even if their coverage overlaps with the Post's."
