I am very pleased to be part of WNYC’s efforts to package our crowdsourcing hybrid reporting model to share with other public media stations. I hope this will open up more community reporting opportunities and bring more people into the storytelling ring to share their experience and their views.
Have questions about this method? Hit me up with questions by posting them below. I’ll try to add them to the Fieldguide’s FAQ as we develop that also!

I pause and wonder how my voice can speak not just truth-to-power, but truth-to-overwhelming noise on television, radio and the internet.
