Fox News To Push Citizen Journalism

Fox News just launched uReport (no relation to CNN’s I-Report, we presume). UReport lets people send in images and videos from either their desktops or their cell phones.

Let’s say you find something newsworthy. Take a picture of it, or roll a video with your cell phone. Then send it to uReport. If Fox News likes it, they’ll post it on their Web site and pay you nothing. But you’ll be famous!
