Crowdfunding Journalism
|
Journalism and photojournalism and photography are all discombobulated by digital media. Nobody can claim at this point to know which end is up, or which direction leads out.
Crowdsourcing photojournalism didn’t work out for PhotoShelter.
Will crowdfunding journalism work out for Spot.us?
Read an interview with Dave Cohn, co-founder of Spot.us, at Online Journalism Blog. An excerpt:
And who can participate? Spot.us “is not a news organization”, so he says he’s not considering hiring anyone. It’s “a marketplace, a platform that independent journalists can use to crowdfund for themselves”.
“It’s for freelance journalists, and it works on a pitch by pitch basis. We encourage everybody to do a pitch, everyone who wants to do this professionally.”
However, he recently announced that he is looking for journalists and communities to work with him.
