Amy Gahran has launched I, Reporter.
From her blog, http://www.ireporter.org:
Welcome to I, Reporter - a new resource to inspire, guide, and educate citizen journalists and the news organizations that work with them.
The people in charge of this project are:
- Amy Gahran: Content strategist and "info-provocateur." I have a journalism degree and worked for several years as a reporter, editor, and managing editor. In 1997 I made the leap into independent media production and communication consulting (mostly for online media), and I never looked back. Since 1998 I've been publishing CONTENTIOUS, which covers news and musings on how we communicate in the online age.
- A. Adam Glenn: Media consultant and former senior producer with ABC News.com. A longtime journalist and editor with special expertise in covering the environment, Adam has traveled the world training people in the craft of good journalism.
Obviously, we're just getting started. I actually had to put this weblog up in a hurry to coincide with some fortuitous coverage I received in the June 20 Christian Science Monitor: Write the News Yourself!
