Crowdsourcing is the New Black

In class not too long ago, we discussed a website called Kickstarter, which helps people with business/project ideas to help get their footing by allowing the public to donate to their specific funds. An article published this week commends Kickstarter for its use of public funding, but criticizes the lack of ability investigative journalists would have if they were trying to do a project long-term.

In rare cases, Kickstarters get enough money to fund their projects for a while. But an average person trying to begin a project, or an investigative journalism outlet, would need more than start up money. 

That's where Uncoverage comes into play! 

Admittedly, Uncoverage founder Israel Mirsky will only accept serious idea pitches (sorry, Miley) and requires some journalism experiences for people who would like to start investigative projects on his new website. 

And to keep journalists from going broke by simply pursuing their passion and furthering interests of the common good, Uncoverage has a payment plan that will supposedly maintain writers and other media experts' resources to help them continuously provide quality content. 

Take a look, here!!!
