(2013-05-13) Rosen Quartz Crowdsourced Journalism

Jay Rosen's Studio20 NYU class has been working with The Atlantic's Quartz site on a model Crowd Sourcing Journalism ("the networked beat"). When the users know more than the journalists (Sources Go Direct), what are good journalists supposed to do?.. We think there are brand opportunities for Quartz in making its own: Intelligent filters, Preferred sources, River Of News (Another Dave Winer concept) (RSS Republisher).

Studio20 and Pando Daily have partnered to work on a new tool that will be revealed in the future.

Aug'2013 update: I think that tool is PandoMaps, being used to show the dispersion of Silicon Valley investment from key clusters like the Paypal Mafia.
