This document provides examples of how some media houses and organizations are using crowdsourcing. It lists several websites that demonstrate crowdsourced journalism, including Al Jazeera's coverage of opinions on the Kony 2012 campaign in Uganda, the Guardian's data blog, and Ushahidi platforms used in Uganda, Central African Republic, and Kenya to collect crisis mapping information. The examples show how crowdsourcing is being used to document past events, gather photos of inaugurations, and make open data available through Creative Commons licensing.
