Interesting creative ways to submit news:
- Wikipedia is an amazing news site. Is away to get a really quick overview an event or something.
- Using facebook to tell a story… the Washington Post used facebook as a story telling device for a pregnant sick mommy.
- The people news- straight from the horses mouth. Ask the audience whats happening there on the ground.
- Hyper-local trend is exploding, community can participate. (Stuff like Patch.com)
- Crowd Sourcing ^ information your not going to get from the Washington Post or other newspaper
TBD– a great news site.
