Your project in Sydney
Kara Andrade
Thank you for posting to our community funded journalism group! We
appreciate the work you're doing and would like to help you with some of the
questions you have regarding best practices we're developing with
implementing our model. Perhaps they might be helpful to you.
Please take a look at our About page which has some great info:
http://spot.us/pages/about.
Regarding your points about editors: I promise the good editors are still
there and have not disappeared, you just going to need to make them come out
of the woodwork by providing opportunities for them to participate in good
investigative pieces they can help to factcheck or edit.
Regarding your point about establishing what a fair price for journalism is
today, here is how we price our work:

It will take a few stories to get a sense of how your local market works and
how you "broker" relationships for timely, local and relevant stories.
Hope this helps! We would also be happy to join you on a Skype call!
Regards!
Kara
