Welcome to the JCWB's latest -- an experiment in Citizen Journalism. For starters, we hold no illusions that we are professional journalists -- we are every day citizens. Your next door neighbors, your co-workers, your friends. What we lack in experience we hope to make up for in enthusiasm. And we hope to take advantage of having our ears close to the ground, and bring you the stories that the professional news outlets -- the Goliaths -- might just miss. They might not be the most glamorous stories, nor the most high-profile -- but that doesn't mean that they're any less newsworthy, or any less real.
Our name -- Davey News -- is a tip of the hat to the book "An Army of Davids: How Markets and Technology Empower Ordinary People to Beat Big Media, Big Government, and Other Goliaths." We're living in an age where tools like the JCWB, the Wiki, our various Blogs, and websites like NewzJunky, give the ordinary citizen a voice. We hope that our voice finds an audience -- as well as other like minded citizens who'd like to try their hand at Citizen Journalism. If you are interested, please do get in touch -- experience not necessary!
