| Summary: | The paper shows results of an analysis about Spot.Us, a news crowdfunding website, ran in the second half of 2010.

There are quantitative differences between the subjects on Spot.Us' coverage and that of the american newspapers. Participatory webjournalism can be seen as a way pluralizing the journalistic coverage, as in the template proposed by Gans. |
