J-Squad Represents: Crowfunding? The new media democracy?
http://j-squad4life.blogspot.com/2010/04/crowfunding-new-media-democracy.html
Mary Ward CSS Journalism Blog Headquarters. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. The new media democracy? Based on the concept of 'crowdfunding', spot.us is an experiment in citizen-funded community journalism. Here's how it works: Anyone can propose a story idea. The ideas are posted online and citizens can then pledge contributions to the stories they want to see reported. If enough people chip in, the idea is investigated and the story gets published. Is this democratic media or news sold to the highest bidder?

J-Squad Represents: Can you do a digital detox?
http://j-squad4life.blogspot.com/2010/04/can-you-do-digital-detox.html
Mary Ward CSS Journalism Blog Headquarters. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Can you do a digital detox? For Lent, my husband and I gave up cable TV. This, however, did not mean the internet. Rather than getting the latest news from Mansbridge on channel 6, I instead turned to the internet and CBC.ca. We so loved not having the TV incessantly on and enjoyed talking more and listening to music more. As a result, we got rid to our cable altogether!
