CNN embraces citizen journalism

WSJ reports on a new feature on CNN.com called Exchange.  It is a platform, powered by blip.tv, that allows readers to submit videos, photos, or text about breaking news.  They are going to vet every piece of content before putting it up and give it the same editorial review that they do for their own content.  Greg Tyree aggregates more of the coverage here.

Mobile phones with cameras and video recorders are changing the face of news reporting.  CNN is attempting to be the place you think of when you capture an event and I applaude there efforts.
