Peer-produced newsThis is a featured page

We haven't really talked about this much yet but I think it's super interesting area... That is, how internet users are producing their own news content and how traditional media outlets are tapping their readers for stories, photos and video...

NPR Rough Cuts
Public radio is looking for younger listeners. In doing so, they are doing a show that might air during a particular time on traditional radio, but continue interactive discussion on the internet. Another initiative is NPR Rough Cuts, through which the show's host post segments in progress and asks for listener assistance in completing or shaping the show. The ideas around social media and peer production should dramatically transofrm public tv and radio.

Sorry...this isn't particularly related, but it reminded me of this post I saw on boingboing a few months ago regarding the radio show 'This American Life' (thislife.org), which has recently been made into a flash-animated TV show for Showtime...(which makes me a little sad because you have to have showtime to be able to watch...)

Anyhow, I think this show could have been an excellent way to integrate Web 2.0 and Radio...if they had outsourced the animating to the public rather than to a pro animator/Showtime...alas...

One of the most innovative and interesting news communities on the web (at least in my opinion) is Newsvine. A non-profit with lots of opportunity to not only re-post news, but create your own, its light years ahead of most other services as is experiencing a lot of growth and recognition right no. Check it out.
