Future of news. Dan Gillmor, author of "We the Media" is leaving the Mercury to start a new venture. Here is an exclusive interview from OhmyNews. Interesting questions and answers. I haven't seen a picture of Oh My before, either.
OhmyNews is a Korean news portal that relies on citizen reporters and professional editors. Stories are submitted and posted online. As a story "rises to the top" of Ohmynews, it gets edited so that if it makes it as a top story, it reads and is 'vetted like any legacy media story.
Gillmor is going to practice what he preached in We the Media and start a news enterprise that is not dominated by a large company, though he takes pains to point out that he is not an anti-capitalist. OhmyNews International
