TV stations to take on citizen journalism sites

[Keyword: online journalism, citizen journalism]. TVtechnology.com reports on the launch of citizen journalism initiative CommunityCorrespondent.com by TV station group Pappas Telecasting. As you'd expect, the site "allows any local individual to load images or post a news story to the CommunityCorrespondent.com Web site" and "allows users themselves to determine what is news by automatically publishing content from cell phones, e-mail and the Web site."

Nebraska's NTV is hosting the pilot, while Pappas "plans to roll out Community Correspondent at all of its 27 stations over the next several months, beginning with KMPH-TV Channel 26 in Fresno, California."
