Beat Reporting With a Social Network: Can it Work?
I’m still working with Jeff Howe on the Crowdsourcing book. Still working with Jarvis on the aftermath of the Networked Journalism Summit. Still always looking for more things to do.
And today comes the begining of a really exciting new project

Are there network effects in beat reporting? Across
the US, a dozen reporters (with beats) are going to try to find
outâ??simultaneously. This will improve their odds of succeeding. I’m
still recruiting participants, so read on…
Below is a
lightly revised version of a letter that went out last week to a number
of professional news organizationsâ??some big and famous, some small and
unsungâ??asking if they want to participate. My goal is 12 willing beat
reporters at 12 supportive newsrooms. I have about 7 to 8 of the 12
signed up now. This will be NewAssignment.Netâ??s third major project,
after Assignment Zero and OffTheBus. You can email me or leave a comment if you wish to be involved.
