Open Source Journalism
from the new-buzzwords dept
Wired is running a story on Slashdot and what it means for journalism and touch on the idea of "open source" journalism, which is exactly what Brian was suggesting we call Techdirt. Interesting article to read, though I'd bet it was posted partly to guarantee the Slashdot effect pointing back to Wired. Update: Damn, I should make sure I read through the entire article. Someone just pointed out to me that near the end they actually mention Techdirt.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Re: techdirt-effect
I think they really meant http://www.dnspolicy.com
At least that is powered by the Slash script from Slashdot.org.
BTW - I just might start my own Slash powered news site at www.Sci-TechNewscom. If anyone wants to help and contribute, let me know at pamphile@prontomail.com
