Community 1. A group with joint ownership or liability, unified by common interests
2. A feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests and goals
Crowdsourcing is based on the notion that working together we can accomplish a large goal.
Crowdsourcing a story builds a sense of community among those in a news organization and the participating audience.

Pro-Am Journalism
Ground-level access
Networked intelligence
Distributed labor
Respect for journalistic standards
Objectivity replaced by transparency Amanda Michel
Director of Distributed Reporting at ProPublica creator of Huffington Post’s OffTheBus
“The timing for a new social contract between the press and the public could not be better. There will be no reason to mourn the loss of its audience if the press fully understands and exploits the new reality that its audience can now be its ally.”
Amanda Michel: Mobilize Your Audience

Clay Shirky, Writer & Lecturerauthor of Here Comes Everybody
“[In the 20th Century], news was something we got.” Now a news organization can act as a site of coordination, “finding the people who care about a story and helping them take action together.”
Clay Shirky: Work Together
“People will work together if you have the perfect mix of promise, effective tool and good bargain, in terms of time.”

Alan Rusbridger Editor of The Guardian
Openness is shorthand for the way in which the vast majority of information...is part of a larger network, only a tiny portion of which is created by journalists. By collaborating...we can be infinitely more powerful than if we believe we have to generate it all ourselves.
Alan Rusbridger: See the power in numbers
