CJReport.com - People-Powered News

Aspiring reporters and scribes take note, CJReport is a new site whose content is created by the citizenry. Citizen journalism is a popular theme of late, for who better to write the news, than the people who live the news? Unlike other pro-am sites, CJReport admits anonymous posts, and edits. Also it's got a Digg-like component, whereby users vote for the top stories to appear on the front page. Stories are categorized by topic, switch through the tabs to browse them. On the page bottom, you'll find the latest releases. Contributing to CJ is similar to using a wiki. There are tabs for viewing, editing, images, revisions and votes. Revisions are equivalent to a story's log—all edits are shown here. Anyone, even non-registered users can edit and submit stories.

 
  In their own words  

"CJReport is a citizen journalism website.
This means that all content on CJReport is
created by the people!
Be a journalist and help contribute to CJReport."

  Why it might be a killer  

Citizen journalism brings a more democratic stance to the news. CJReport makes it very easy for everyone to contribute. The UI is of the familiar wiki-type and the overall layout is clean and focused. Particularly nice touches are the ability to submit stories via your mobile, and the anonymous feature.

  Some questions  

Can we expect articles of high quality? Are they reliable? What makes this news site more interesting/attractive than your standard news outlet?
