There is a section where raw video footage is provided and it is unclear to me if these are submissions from members of the site or from paid journalists. They certainly appear to be from people on the street; however, there is no link for submissions. Again, I think this would be an area to explore with the foundation over this site to see if they would be willing to accept video feeds from my students regarding pertinent and relevant news stories in the Atlanta area. Although this site represents a "top-down" approach to providing information, there are aspects to the site that are reaching out towards a new ethos way of viewing information. I am interested to see how much the foundation and the producers are willing to take their "interactive" mission to the next step.
 * How does the space allow different forms and routes to participation, and present different routes to status?**
