This site is the test-bed for a future place for citizen journalism to take place. Right now it just has stories brought to it about the subject of citizen journalism as well. It supplies plenty of thoughts and ideas to link to and find a story to help support the start of something new out there. It helps to look at the past, the present, in order to create a future in which those ideas will work out. Aside from that, I just like the name of David Cohn, who edits the site, and I think I have read his work before offline so I found it interesting to see that he was doing this. If not that, I might have confused him with young adult authors Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. Whichever the case, they all are really good writers.
The comments to give feedback make the page also really good.

Hi!
I do have a good name, don't I?
"David Cohn" -- kinda rolls off the toungue.
I have done writing elswhere -- but not really offline. Must be a different guy with an equally good name.
Have you checked out Assignment Zero? It's our first attempt at doing open source journalism. Pretty cool -- and anyone can help out. Even... you. Yes, you.
Find a topic you like from our list of investigations here.
If you find a topic you like -- contact me -- maybe you can help report on it (or you can do it right away on the crowd questions -- if you know something it'll only take you 10 minutes).
Best
David Cohn
