How does crowdfunding change journalism?

Posted 05 October 2009 | By | Categories: Uncategorized | No Comments

How does crowdfunded and crowdsourced journalism differ from the traditional way to make journalism? Does it differ at all?

How about the reporter, how does the reporter experience the crowdfunded journalistic process? I want to answer to these questions by studying Spot.Us, a system for community funded reporting.

Spot.Us is crowdsourcing story topics, leads and information from the community and crowdfunding the stories by microdonations from the community.
