Jay Rosen's "Distributed Journalism": NYU professor and new-media sage Jay Rosen tells me that he's launching a new website that allows anyone to cover the news in conjunction with professional journalists. It's a pro-am thing. It's a bit like Wikipedia-meets-Woodward-and-Bernstein. Rosen calls it "distributed journalism." For starters the site is called AssignmentZero.com [Welcome. We're covering a story: How the Web makes it possible for the crowd to be the source of good ideas. But instead of one journalist reporting, we've created a site where many people can work on the story, with editors as guides.].
