Representative Journalism Trial Project

by David Cohn on March 10, 2008 - 1:36pm.

Once again, I am unable to give the following post the attention it deserves. But hey, that’s what happens when you are juggling other projects (see the right hand column of this blog).

Still: I want to bring attention to Leonard Witt’s newest venture: “Representative Journalism.” Essentially what Leonard Witt is organizing is crowdfunded journalism. With small donations from people on a regular basis - the community will rent a journalist. I think it’s a fantastic idea, testing a paradigm shift in the business model of journalism.

Who will that journalist be? Apply or spread the word.
