"Hi - this is David Cohn the founder of Spot.Us. I just wanted to say: Great article. I appreciate the lay of the land approach to all this. It is an interesting experiment and we are having some success. In the end what we are really testing is two fold. One part is very much under our control and the other isn't. Our platform: It needs to be a tool that folks can use. Society: Is local civic journalism something that people are willing to donate 10 or 20 bucks towards. If there is no other way to report on city hall unless a group of people come together to share resources: Is there a marketplace that can support this? People donate to charities all the time because it is a perceived social good. The question is if journalism can also be perceived as something that benefits society. We will find out." - David Cohn
