About David Cohn

I have been working in journalism since college. You can browse my work history and samples for more.

As for me personally. I'm a bit of a geek, but I enjoy every minute of every day working on Spot.Us. I'm ready to build this website out into something very exciting.

All I want to know is.....

"Whose coming with me...?"

Work History

Freelance Writer I have freelanced for Wired, Seed Magazine, Columbia Journalism Review, the New York Times and more. Director of Distributed Reporting I worked with Jay Rosen on NewAssignment.Net. As such, I worked on the following projects: NewAssignment.net (the blog), Assignment Zero, Beat Blogging, OffTheBus.net and others. Director I received a grant from the Knight Foundation to build Spot.Us. I'm loving every minute of it.

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.
