I came across this site and was suprised at what I found. According to The Citizen Journalist's Press-ure website this is what they had to say about this website. This is just a portion of the story. the rest can be found clicking here.
Citizen’s Press-ure
Recently, however, an innovative diversity of news gathering voices have begun cropping up on the web. A growing number of smaller community-based web logs and web sites (emptywheel, Elwood Indiana, myurbanreport, locallygrownnorthfield to list a few) have grabbed the attention of several foundations and organizations interested in promoting what media expert Leonard Witt calls representative journalism, including: The Harnish Family Foundation, The Center for Citizen Media, the Berkman Center for Internet and Society and the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism. CJPress hopes to add support to such initiatives by serving as a clearinghouse of information for people of all stripes to begin developing the skills and resources (primarily news writing, reporting, verification, research, and journalistic ethics) they will need to most effectively begin a life as citizen journalists.
Well, I'm glad I have their attention ;-)
