I’m working on an article for the Online Journalism Review about participatory journalism. I’m looking for examples of it. If you, or someone you know, has committed an act of participatory journalsm, drop me a line.
I’m not so much interested in the restaurant review you posted on your weblog. I’m thinking more about things like:
– covering a news event and posting video footage on your weblog or website
– examples of moblogging, perhaps with a camera phone, and publishing updates or coverage of an event, rally or speech on a group site
– community news sites where moms, dads or kids publish coverage of their local soccer team because it doesn’t get coverage in the newspaper.
– examples of sending in “amateur” photos to a news site (as dallasnews.com and the BBC have done) or citizen reporting (a la Korea’s ohmynews.com).
