I'll be leaving the San Jose Mercury Newsnext month to work on a citizen-journalism project.
I hope to pull together something useful that helps enable -- and demonstrates -- the emerging grassroots journalism that I wrote about in my recent book. Something powerful is happening, it's in the early stages and I have a chance to help figure this out.
I'm not ready to discuss the specifics yet, mainly because I have many more ideas than I could possibly try to put into practice at this point -- and we're early in the process of working out the venture's actual form.
One hears more and more about such projects unfolding, including in South Dakota, because there are so many complaints about the MSM. I thoroughly enjoyed Gillmor's book, "We the Media," last summer.
