Dan Gillmor is author of We the Media: Grassroots Journalism By the People, For the People. It’s an excellent book about the way technology, mainstream media cost cutting and journalism are intersecting and transforming mainstream media.
Webpronews.com has published an excellent article with Gillmor by Jeremy Pepper. It’s a must read for anyone serious about participating in citizen journalism.
The writings of Gillmor helped start us working on our own (small) LocalNews Daily project.
