Dcorking bookmarked on 2009-02-28 Open source Citizen journalism

Indymedia, wikinews, and others seem to fit in this model. Written in 2001, 3 years before wikinews.

  • Open publishing is not new. It is an electronic reinvention of the ancient art of story telling.

    Open publishing is free software. It's freedom of information, freedom for creativity.

    Open publishing is overwhelmingly done by volunteers.

    Who will do the investigative journalism? How will people give a perspective from overseas? What will provide a sense of overview, connectedness and common identity? Will anyone get paid for their work? What will become of motion pictures? Of musicians? Where will be the sustained efforts by hundreds of people?

    I am hoping the above questions about open publishing have already been answered by free software. And partly by indymedia, and thousands of other open publishing websites.
