Become a Veracifier Ground Hound
“Will journalism be done by you or to you?”
Veracifier.com is launching a strategic partnership with TheUpTake.org to recruit, train, and showcase independent video journalists from around the country during the 2008 election year. And we want you!
Community driven journalism, whether through tips, comments or independent reports, has always been a permanent part of Veracifier’s programming.
The UpTake is a nonprofit media startup created by a diverse team of Minnesota-based political, business and media activists, including leading video blogger Chuck Olsen.
Ground Hounds’ video reports will run every week on the Veracifier network. ‘Hounds’ will have profile pages where people can follow their personal blogs and videos. Veracifier and Next New Networks will work with The UpTake to harness its array of talented network producers and stars to support training sessions for aspiring independent journalists. With a little help, anyone can commit an act of journalism.
In 2008 no political event will be complete without a Ground Hound covering it with their own unique voice. Want to be a ground hound? Contact us at veracifier@veracifier.com with events you want to cover- and we pay. (Though not much). Upload a sample of your work below. While we are working with the Uptake- anyone can contact us and become a ground hound. So c'mon- commit and act of journalism.
