TrendCentral: Harnessing the power of the people, new online experiment Spot.Us hopes to change the face of journalism by putting a new spin on community-sourced content. During a time when many a reader has become wary of traditional news media outlets for delivering sensationalized, biased, or elitist content, Spot.Us offers San Francisco-area community members citizen journalism-style opportunities in which anyone can submit an idea for an investigative story and/or donate money to story ideas or "pitches" that they want to see covered. Those pitches which reach their funding goals (to cover the reporting costs) are then written by freelance journalists and published on the Spot.Us site.
