Citizen journalism is always a topic that sparks discussion and Interest, at least amongst the New Media set. This year has been a particularly good year for citizen journalism, with a number of initiatives and startups coming out in the space: Fox Sports, NowPublic, YouTube, iReport and many others.

At our Seattle SummerMash stop, AllVoices, another entrant to the space, stopped to talk with us about what it is they're doing to add to the space.

This of course, spurred a rousing discussion for Sean and I on the podcast on what we saw as some of the systemic flaws in a lot of citizen journalism efforts, and some possible solutions to the problem. You can participate by playing the video via the embed below, or downloading the MP4.
