We’re on the look out for journalists, editors and writers to join our crowd sourcing experiment to provide new, well-researched and well-written articles for the People’s Republic of South Devon site.
Crowd sourcing builds on the belief that the community as a whole has more expertise than any individual.
We’ve decided to use that ethos to engage as much as the community as possible in the generation of environmental, current affairs and arts stories.
To get the ball rolling we’ve posted up some press releases. You could re-write them or they could be used as the basis for stories in their own right.
But it’s not just press releases we’re after. There’s also plenty of scope for your own feature ideas, or people to interview, or issues that need investigating. Submit your ideas and/or stories and we’ll look for input from the whole community.
The stories then go through our editors to check for legalities and style before being posted on the site.
It’s an attempt by us to be as transparent as possible and as engaged as possible with the community in the media process. And it will also give us a chance to share what we know, such as it as, about this whole New Media game, in bite size chunks.
Pop along to the PRSD Crowd Sourcing site, or drop us an email at info@peoplesrepublicofsouthdevon.co.uk
