WNYC Radio crowdsourcing project

The Brian Lehrer Show on New York Public Radio, WNYC, is working on an interesting crowdsourcing project this week. Associate producer Jim Colgan tells CyberJournalist.net," We're asking our radio listeners to commit an act of journalism. We're asking them to count the number of SUVs on their block, compared to the number of cars. It's our first foray into the crowdsourcing, and what's being called Pro-Am journalism. With all the talk of environmental sustainability in the city right now, we're trying to find out just how many gas-guzzling SUVs are at our doorstep. We'll look at the results of the assignment on our show later this week (Thursday), and look at what it means with an expert."
