WANTED: Citizen Journalists To Bust More Jack Abramoffs
Topics: citizen journalism | lobbying
Source: SourceWatch, January 3, 2006
Artificial Intelligence, a citizen journalist, began an article about lobbyist Jack Abramoff on our SourceWatch website two and a half years ago. Others, including SourceWatch editor Bob Burton, have added to the article. Now, Jack Abramoff's plea bargain is the biggest U.S. news story, and if you Google Jack Abramoff, one of the top returns will be our SourceWatch article, already read by tens of thousands. This is just one example of the power of citizen journalism, and we invite you to join in. SourceWatch contributors are documenting how lobbyists, public relations firms, think tanks, industry-funded organizations and industry-friendly experts manipulate public opinion and policy on behalf of corporations, governments and other special interests. To learn how to become a SourceWatcher, visit SourceWatch:Welcome, newcomers, the Help page, Frequently Asked Questions, or experiment in the sandbox.

Excellent links throughout the article. You are the media. Inform your co-workers, your townspeople. Create your own pamphlets, pass the word. Thomas Paine did it, so can you; so must you if we are to retain any vestige of the crumbling republic and avoid the uber fascism that the neoconsters desire.

1. Thanks Clara T, I didn't know this.

As a bit of a citizen journalist myself, I'll be interested to check this out.

And, all you citizen journalists, don't forget "Scoop" which has done so much to start and keep alive the story of election integrity in the USA.

2. I've been saying that what we need is a modern day;

Thomas Paine. Damn, even now his writing style raises the hair on the back of my neck.
