Crowdsourced Journalism with Ö÷²¥´óÐã Pop Up
Ö÷²¥´óÐã Pop Up arrives in towns across America and asks residents what stories they want covering. We take a look at the implications of this style of journalism.
It is the Ö÷²¥´óÐã’s first mobile bureau in the United States - called Ö÷²¥´óÐã Pop Up. In the past four months they have landed in a particular town for a month and asked the residents what stories they would like them to cover. In the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Pop Up van, the team of video journalists go out and cover these stories and bring them to the world.
Ö÷²¥´óÐã Pop Up producer Matt Danzico takes us on the road with him as he goes to follow up on a story he was told about in a grocery store in Sioux Falls, south Dakota. It leads him to a rancher named Wyatt, three hours west of the town, who is also the lead singer of a metal band called Fantome.
Rajan Datar speaks to Matt to find out what the people he meets make of the Ö÷²¥´óÐã and what this immersive approach to journalism means for the journalists themselves and the residents who tell their stories.
