Hi there – passing this on from a good=
friend of mine David Cohn, who is one of the most savvy and innovative jour=
nalists I’ve known.

he’s the guy who was integral in the launch of the first “crowdsour=
cing” news site (“Assignment Zero” failed, but Dave is still a major contrib=
utor and foundation for the open-source reporting blog, “New Assignment”=A0http://newassignment.net/)
=A0Then he helped launch “News Trust,” a community-reviewed new=
s site, (http://www.newstrust.net/ =A0 check th=
at out!!!) –=A0
and now has won a grant t=
o start his own company, see below.

know anyone in the Bay area looking for work?
