You know how you're always saying you wish journalists weren't so stupid? Yeah, me too.
At my news organization (American Public Media/Minnesota Public Radio), we have an initiative that we started where we depend on the knowledge of the audience to inform the coverage. It's called Public Insight Journalism. We use it to evaluate potential stories and to be more informed before we even decide whether stories are worth doing.
Today, I got a message from the unit. They're trying to get information on NASA's alleged refusal to release safety statistics.
If you have knowledge to share -- note: this isn't if you have an OPINION to share, this is if you have KNOWLEDGE to share -- they've set up a form here.
