Citizen Journalism: Speak up (and get paid for it)

Associated Content is a budding citizen journalism effort. It’s kind of like AP without the professional journalists and distribution system. Touted as “the people’s media company, contributors submit original stories as well as images, audio and video. Associated Content reviews each submission and accepted pieces are paid between $3 and $20. Essentially, people report on what they care about with AC serving as a non-traditional news editing process.

Most media outlets kind of have to gauge what their listeners/viewers/readers want from their news.
