Nieman Lab: The Washington Post wants to make it easier to call on stringers to report from around the globe. The company has launched the Washington Post Talent Network, a platform that is part social network and part job board, designed to make the process of hiring and deploying freelancers a lot easier. The talent network was designed to give all editors at the Post a universal system to identify writers for blogs, breaking news, or long features, across a variety of desks.
