Craig Newmark announced that he’ll donate $10,000 to NewAssignment’s first test run.
The idea of Jay Rosen with NewsAssignement.net is to create an institution online where people can contribute dollars to fund reporting projects they’re interested in.
Jeff Jarvis says today:
“I think this is an important experiment in pro-am, publicly supported, open journalism.
We must explore new business models to support coverage of news and this is one of them.
I’m an enthusiastic supporter of NewAssignment.”
