Re-reporting
I had an idea this morning, and I figured I'd run it by everyone and see what you think. It seems to me that there are a huge number of stories in the media that cover important events, but that do so in a limited and biased way. On the other hand, there are millions of bloggers, many of whom critique what the media reports, and add additional material. There are also so many web resources like actual remarks from actual people who actually attach their name to what they say.
Do you guys think that there would be a market for re-reported stories? That is, say a week after a big story, getting several major accounts together, extracting the facts from the stories and discarding the cant and bias, incorporating the critiques and the additional facts/transcripts and producing a more balanced and complete and less biased account? Or would this be too little, too late, or would it just be duplicating what Pajamas Media intends to do?
