INteresting Post on Lost Remote

http://www.lostremote.com/2007/08/18/poll-says-majority-find-news-orgs-biased/

which has a pointer to a new Pew study

People don't trust the news, find it biased. Don't trust news organizations. Think the news criticizes the country too much

But they like their local tv news - go figure

Worth a read - and a cuple of minutes thought. Is there a way your idea can help re-establish trust and respect of the news organization in the audience you've chosen?

Maybe if we implement some of the ideas you guys had about letting people tell their own stories, letting people say what is news? That might increase trust and decrease how biased people think the news organizations are.

Remember - chat tonight. Be sure your ideas are fully fleshed out. Read thru everyone's ideas and comment. Go thru the comments on your site - respond to them.
