Why Settle for the Blue Plate Special When You Can Have the Whole K-Mart?
Earlier this year, I mentioned how NYU students and web journalist Jay Rosen had launched Blue Plate Special--a project analyzing the current state of newspaper blogs. Now, Rosen has taken his citizen journalism movement a step beyond that, opening NewAssignement.net.

This website will soon be featuring the work of citizen reporters around the world, and you can follow new developments on Rosen's site. He just dished out his first assignment, and any fledgling writer out there can give it a shot.

This is your chance. Don't just talk about citizen journalism anymore, now you can actually do it alongside some of the brightest minds in the business...

IMG_0593.jpg"Anyone want to help out with the launch of NewAssignment.Net? Go to this site, and carefully examine it— how it works, whether it works, what does and doesn’t work, and why… Be sure to look at what’s been written and said about it, too.

"Then write a post capturing the key lessons for NewAssignment.Net. Publish it at your blog—like mrs panstreppon did—and I will link to it, mentioning your name and giving thanks. Or put it in the comments here, or
send it to me. (If you’re taking this on do let me know.)"
