NEW YORK - Less than a week after launching, a media Web site that combines new and traditional journalism is changing its name to avoid a trademark battle with an existing public radio show.
Open Source Media, until last week known as Pajamas Media, will now be called ... Pajamas Media.
OSM Media LLC returned to its old name after discovering that Public Radio International already distributes an hour-long radio show called Open Source, from a production company that goes by Open Source Media Inc.
The show's producers said they consulted lawyers and asked the new venture to stop using the name. Pajamas' founders agreed to the request and suggested in an online posting that they were never fully comfortable with Open Source Media to begin with.
Some 70 Web journalists, including Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds, are participating in the new site, which blends news feeds from traditional media organizations with Web journal, or blog, postings.
