Assignment Zero First Take: Wiki Innovators Rethink Openness - Wired
Excerpt:
"The first piece of citizen journalism created by Assignment Zero, a "pro-am" collaboration between Wired and NewAssignment.net, explores crowdsourcing. The project still has a month to go, but here's a preview.
Inspired by the open-source movement in programming, which has produced world-class software like Firefox, Assignment Zero allows citizen journalists to work with professional editors on a story.
"This is an attempt to bring journalists together with people in the public who can help cover a story," says project founder Jay Rosen.
Launched seven weeks ago, the experiment's first assignment was chosen by NewAssignment.net editor, Lauren Sandler. It details The Citizendium, a new Wikipedia-challenging crowdsourced encyclopedia."
