US: Huffington Post planning citizen journalist coverage of presidential race
"Each volunteer reporter/blogger will contribute to a candidate-specific group blog -- offering written updates, campaign tidbits, on-the-scene observations, photos, or original video," she said.
The content produced will be shown on both HuffingtonPost.com as well as Jay Rosen’s NewAssignment.net. Around 40 or 50 people are expected to track individual campaigns with up to 100 covering the frontrunners. In the spirit of pro-am journalism, editors will review work as it comes in to find the most interesting content.
"Our volunteer reporters will aim to provide an authentic counter-narrative to the lockstep consensus we often get from the mainstream media," Huffington said.
