David Cohn’s Spot.us is an experiment “to preserve investigative journalism” in the San Francisco bay area.
This is how it works. Members of the public choose which topic should be investigated by a journalist, pledging anything from $5 upwards.
Listen to how David sees his idea taking off and his plea that journalism will only survive if others are as experimental.
David’s Twitter handle is @Digidave, here are his Shares, which I have written about before, and he writes a blog DigiDave.
This is my fourth interview from the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco.
