As always the best way to stay up with Spot.Us news is to follow our…
But this post is to spread news about….
- We’re hiring a community organizer. Learn more and apply.
- We’ve now funded our third work of journalism since our launch (our sixth if you count the beta phase over this summer).
- Using Sprout Builder I’m creating widgets for different pitches. Because there are lots of good journalism projects that still need supporting. You can help by spreading the word (embedding a widget) and of course – by making a small $10-$25 donation.
For now I continue to use this line (and I mean it): “I work for you!”
Any serious reporter or news organization that wants to interface with Spot.Us – once you have a pitch on the site – I work for you! I working my tale off to fundraise for every pitch that is up on Spot.Us. At a time like this – don’t you want all the free labor you can get?
Here is to hoping I work for more people in the future.
OMG!!! Only 2,499,999 more jobs to go!!!
Haha, I kid!
David,
All best wishes on this endeavor and congratulations for thinking outside the box.
Some thoughts on our new world of blogging and reporting: http://pacificgatepost.blogspot.com/2008/03/blogs-complement-fourth-estate.html
I share this only to underline that in addition to the events that are urgently newsworthy, or those that get abusively repeated across all media, there are those events where the insider’s perspective through the safety of time or umbrage of anonymity, allows revelation of unusual and enlightening perspectives.
Keep up the positive effort.
