"Only those who risk going too far will ever know how far they can go." --T.S. Eliot

We The Media

An open source newspaper, you can call it. A small California newspaper has undertaken a first-of-its-kind experiment: a community newspaper, for and by the community. They are asking people in their neighborhood to be the writers and photographers. Anyone can submit news, which immediately goes up online and if selected, goes into the print edition that reaches 22,000 households. "It's also your responsibility to make sure what you submitted is accurate, so that the responsibility is not between the publisher and the reader, it's reader to reader. And that's really what we're going for here," the editor said.
