The Public Insight Network (PIN) is launching its own reporting unit to produce original stories tapping into its huge database of 130,000 citizen sources.
Citizens across America and recently South Africa have been reporting their experiences to the PIN database. Reporters can use the sources to write stories on such topics as foreclosures or the presidential primaries. -db
