Crowdsourcing "the Quake"

Great that mainstream media quickly sought to crowdsource this week’s East Coast quake with eyewitness accounts. But they’ve been doing that pretty handily for years. Way overdue is crowdsourcing non-breaking news, such as deeper public-policy issues that affect us all.

The day that happens represents a seismic (sorry) shift toward thinking about the audience as co-collaborator in news — truly a day for celebration.
