Algonquin launches GoJournalism.ca

[David Cohn]

Hello members of the "Community-Funded Reporting" group!

Just wanted to highlight that a new site has launched GoJournalism.Ca

http://digital.ottawacitizen.com/epaper/viewer.aspx

There is also the Australian YouCommNews.com

Both are based off of Spot.Us' open source code.

Also check out emphas.is which is not based off the Spot.Us code - but
sound like it will be similar in nature once it launches - but focused
on photography.

How is everyone doing? Any lessons or interesting things to note in
the community-funded reporting world?

Have you checked out Spot.Us' new "community-focused sponsorship"
model. If not - just go to Spot.Us and click "Free Credits" - you can
earn funds for a reporter by taking a quick survey/quiz.

More on this soon.

Best
David
