What's Dan going to do? That's been one of the hottest questions among citizen journalism insiders since columnist Dan Gillmor announced in February that he was leaving the San Jose Mercury News to develop a grassroots journalism project. Now we know. Sort of.
The spotlight turned to Gillmor after publication of his "We The Media" book.
The launch Saturday of Bayosphere.com doesn't reveal much. Gillmor refers to a "team," but Jay Campbell is the only other member posting to the site so far. The site's description says it's "of, by and for the Bay Area." Gillmor describes himself as the host, not the editor, and says "we'll be adding tools that make it easy to join in and to do good work, often collaborating with others."
