The post gives simple examples where journalists are asking readers for story ideas or for their opinions. For example, the post showcases a Sacramento Bee reporter using his blog to crowd source opinions on what it’s like to be back after being furloughed because of California state budget constraints.

Tweeting news: If you’re skeptical of the value of Twitter to news organizations, read this post.
