CoverThis.News Details
This is the new journalism.The new model is essentially crowdsourcing. Sites like Kickstarter, Indiegogo and GoFundMe have scaled to the big leagues by allowing anyone to raise funds for a specific project or cause. It's time that came to journalism. Here's what we propose:1. A citizen has an interest in a certain news story being covered.2. He/she goes to coverthis.news to create a campaign to get that story covered.3. They fill out basic info and then launch the campaign.4. CoverThis sets the goal of basic stories costing $750 to create.5. The campaign creator and CoverThis spread the word — seeking backers for the project.6. All backers are listed publicly, along with the amount spent, so that there is complete transparency behind how a story came to fruition.7. Once the story reaches its goal, the story is assigned to a writer/researcher.8. Within 4 weeks, the story is in its first form — Version 1.9. Version 1 one is shared with the original backer and written feedback is solicited. The original backer is essentially the executive producer of the content.10. The writer incorporates some or all of the feedback (based on feasibility and budget) and creates Version 2.11. The original backer then review it one more time — but can only ask to add a preface to the article to elucidate the topic or provide context.12. The story then launches on coverthis.news.13. Along with the story, the journalist publishes all of his/her materials and sources. This is done so future authors, researchers and, in general, for the public record, can reuse existing, corroborated facts.
