If we Americans love our cars and the call of the open road, the same cannot be said for the process of building those roads. But this week Unbossed is going to show you why we should be paying attention.
Excellent list of social-media based news and public policy initiatives.
NowPublic is trying to build a business around citizen journalism. It's raised $10M and is developing versions of its crowdsourcing platform for corporate use
Another publisher - this time a unit of venerable Time, Inc. - tries its hand at a print publication composed entirely of user-generated content. 8020 Publishing and the Hartford Courant are doing the same thing. Editors say the quality of ideas contributed by readers is remarkably good, although the copy needs a lot of work. They all plan to keep the conversation going.
8020 Publishing has a strong ownership pedigree (Halsey Minor and ex-Conde Nast execs) and a fascinating model. Each bi-monthly issue of its two magazines is composed entirely of content submitted by readers. It takes a staff of only 19 people to produce the two titles and they'll be profitable by next year.
