All the world’s a story
Greetings
Monday’s New York Times had an article called All the world’s a story about Assignment Zero, “a collaboration between Wired Magazine and NewAssignment.Net, the experimental journalism site established by Jay Rosen, a professor of journalism at New York University, intends to use not only the wisdom of the crowd, but their combined reporting efforts–an approach that has come to be called “crowdsourcing.” “The idea is to apply to journalism the same open-source model of Web-enabled collaboration that produced the operating system Linux, the Web browser Mozilla and online encyclopedia Wikipedia.” “Assignment Zero will use custom software to create a virtual newsroom that allows collaboration on a discrete, but open-ended, topic from the very start.”
