Not sure I agree with this kind of stuff - if it were a real citizen journalism project you’d get some sense of disruption but truly the BBC does not need to go into this turf. No doubt it’ll be a success but those pioneers who laboured in the BBC’s desperately underfunded communities department were stuffed by the Corp for years. It was the backwater.
This from Craig Newmark.
“BBC Radio Five Live’s late night international news programme Up All Night would like your help telling the story of the US midterm elections. We’ll be visiting Connecticut and Pennsylvania and on election night Washington DC - but we can’t be everywhere and there many other fascinating races we’d like to cover. So we’d like your help in reporting the election.
Polls and the results on the night of the race will only give us half the story. We’d like to know what it looks like from the ground. If you’d like to be a Five Live “Citizen Reporter” during the election read the information on our blog and if you are still interested drop a note to upallnight@bbc.co.uk. telling us a bit about yourself. “
