I also thought you might be interested in a blog I've launched along very similar lines to HelpaReporter - we had a Facebook group for reporters seeking case studies and now a blog at http://gettingink.typepad.com/journos We're finding already (though it's only been up about a month) that requests are reaching people who can't afford the fees for commercial services, including start-ups, freelancers, regular internet users, charities, government agencies and more - as well as the big PR agencies that use the likes of Profnet and Response Source. Of course, we're focusing mainly on the UK market but I do think it's interesting how journalists can take social media tools to make the process of reporting more direct, and more democratic.

I’m very interested in Reporting On – I read the post on Journalism.co.uk, and think the idea is intriguing – how do you get around the idea of reporters being competitors, though?

I also thought you might be interested in a blog I’ve launched along very similar lines to HelpaReporter – we had a Facebook group for reporters seeking case studies and now a blog at http://gettingink.typepad.com/journos

We’re finding already (though it’s only been up about a month) that requests are reaching people who can’t afford the fees for commercial services, including start-ups, freelancers, regular internet users, charities, government agencies and more – as well as the big PR agencies that use the likes of Profnet and Response Source.

Of course, we’re focusing mainly on the UK market but I do think it’s interesting how journalists can take social media tools to make the process of reporting more direct, and more democratic.
