Time to Get Off the Bus - By Zack Exley

Excerpts:
"I'm proud to announce that I'm signing on with the Huffington Post and Off the Bus, a citizen journalism project co-published by Arianna Huffington and Jay Rosen, as a roving correspondent and advisor.

But I'm only going to do this if you--at least a good ten or twenty thousand of you--also take the leap to join the media as citizen journalists along with me."

and

"But as I got to know some reporters better, I learned that the problem wasn't willful disregard for the truth, but rather lack of time and resources--and simply poor positioning. The big national reporters are forced by their employers to do almost nothing but chase candidates, all cooped up on the campaign bus (or plane, nowadays) engaging almost exclusively with official campaign spokespeople."
