I gave my Intro to Journalism class an assignment to choose which spot.us story I should fund with my $7 in credits. They picked 10-12 stories and presented reasons those stories should be funded. Then the whole class voted: Toxic Strawberries won by an overwhelming majority. The idea that they might be consuming unhealthy fruit really got to them. Best of luck with the rest of your funding and with the story. Barbara Gref, adjunct professor of journalism, State University of New York at Sullivan

Powerful
The Each One Reach One report tells a powerful story and is simply, eloquently done. Angel's Story is universal and full of hope. I'm glad I sent a few dollars to this project ... will try to send more.

What is Spot.us?

Spot.Us is an open source project to pioneer "community powered reporting." Through Spot.Us the public can commission and participate with journalists to do reporting on important and perhaps overlooked topics. Contributions are tax deductible and we partner with news organizations to distribute content under appropriate licenses.
