What is Spot.Us About?
Spot.Us is a nonprofit project of the "Center for
Media Change" and funded by various groups like the
Knight Foundation. We partner with various
organizations including the Annenberg School of Communications in Los Angeles.
We are an open source project to pioneer “community powered reporting.” Through
Spot.Us the public can commission and participate with journalists to do reporting on important
and perhaps overlooked topics. Contributions are tax deductible and we partner with news
organizations to distribute content under appropriate licenses. On some occasions we can even
pay back the original contributors.
You can learn more about us at our press page.
