I just posted my thoughts about how all media should be delivered by the citizens and that they should be paid for it! @themediaishirin posted this link on twitter and I love what they're doing -- and it needed to be shard. Enjoy!
What is Spot.Us About?
Spot.Us is a nonprofit project of the
Center for Media Change. We are an open source project,
to pioneer “community funded reporting.” Through Spot.Us the public can commission
journalists to do investigations on important and perhaps overlooked stories. All donations are
tax deductible and if a news organization buys exclusive rights to the content, your donation will be
reimbursed. Otherwise, all content is made available to all through a Creative Commons license.
It’s a marketplace where independent reporters, community members and news organizations
can come together and collaborate.
