Crowdsourced news is becoming really popular now that anyone can start up a blog or YouTube channel to analyze the news and even have fans participate in sharing articles and their thoughts. The name "alt-media" is being thrown around a lot but open source news as you describe fits in really well with what's going on there. Interesting stuff.

Thanks! Yes, it is interesting and also important. One war, the Spanish-American war, was started over an item - the explosion of the U.S.S. Maine - that was given a spin which was at least arguably fake news.
If open publication and crowdsourcing didn't step in, whi knows how far this Russia flap would have gone?
