Ask an Expert About the Future of 'Citizen Journalism'.

People ranging from Doc Searls to J.D. Lasica to Dan Gillmor to Craig
Newmark have talked about how "citizen journalism" is supplanting and/or
augmenting professional reporting. (FYI: One of the groundbreaking moments
in "citizen journalism" happened right here on Slashdot.) This week's
interviewee, NYU professor Jay Rosen, is not only a long-time proponent of
civic journalism, but has now started NewAssignment.net with seed money
from Craig Newmark, a $10,000 grant from the Sunlight Foundation and, last
week, $100,000 from Reuters. Jay Rosen is obviously not just an academic or
theoretician, but is actually doing things, which means he can answer
almost any question you may have about citizen (or civic) journalism. Usual
Slashdot interview rules apply.
