jimray : First Assignment Zero piece is about... wikis - Seriously? The first bit by the "landmark" collab of Wired and NewAssignment to revolutionize citizen journalism is an inside baseball piece about wikifrigginpedia? I guess we should be thankful there wasn't an accompanying LOLcats slideshow.

43folders : Santa Rosa TV station fires news staff, to ask local folks to provide programming - Cash-strapped news station asks viewers to directly contribute content (via cell phone video, etc.) as the station's primary source for local reporting.
jimray : Tonight at 11, news by neighbors - "Santa Rosa TV station fires news staff, to ask local folks to provide programming" Honestly, though, is that any worse than local TV coverage?

jimray : Yahoo You Witness - Yahoo's UGC play. Clever name...
plasticbag : Yahoo! You Witness News is coming soon - I genuinely have no idea how this is going to manifest, but I'm certainly interested. Bubble-up news, citizen journalism and the like have had highly mixed success rates. Still, it's quite cool to see Yahoo leap into the fray...

kayodeok : USATODAY.com - A false Wikipedia 'biography' - This is a highly personal story about Internet character assassination. It could be your story ...
