Citizen journalists
: Tim Porter sends us to a wonderful feature at The Brownsville Herald: A gaggle of reporters goes out into the community and asks for public records and then reports what happens. Great reading. And, as Tim says, anyone can do this; any citizen has the right to open records. So go to your town hall. Ask for the salary and expense records of your public officials. Then print the results on your weblog. Watch what happens.
