Are you camped out on Wall Street? Did you film protestors taking over 
Greek State TV? Do you have original research about campaign financing? 
The Real News would like to present your footage, photographs and 
research to a wider audience.

With the generous support of the Knight Foundation, TRNN has been 
developing a series of interactive online news applications. We're 
pleased to launch the first one -Work With A Journalist. 
<http://premiere.whatcounts.com/t?r=1664&c=907042&l=36646&ctl=1697A0D:673DD15196584629C84FCAA1053C0D2CEDC3615173C7E546&>

Through Work With A Journalist, our journalists and producers make 
requests for research, footage and images and if you have something to 
add, you can upload it directly to the application.

You can also evaluate other users' contributions. If you see footage or 
research that you really like, vote it up by clicking on the up arrow 
next to the contribution. If you don't care for it, vote it down.

We already have several open requests for footage, research and images 
on the following topics

Youth and the criminal justice system 
<http://premiere.whatcounts.com/t?r=1664&c=907042&l=36646&ctl=1697A04:673DD15196584629C84FCAA1053C0D2CEDC3615173C7E546&>

The anti-austerity campaign in Europe

The Tar-Sands protests

Occupy Wall Street and Day of Rage movements 
<http://premiere.whatcounts.com/t?r=1664&c=907042&l=36646&ctl=1697A07:673DD15196584629C84FCAA1053C0D2CEDC3615173C7E546&>

Oil Shale extraction in Israel and Jordan 
<http://premiere.whatcounts.com/t?r=1664&c=907042&l=36646&ctl=1697A08:673DD15196584629C84FCAA1053C0D2CEDC3615173C7E546&>

Remember, sometimes these requests are very time sensitive and a 
response is required right away; in this case by the time you've added 
research, the story has been produced. Nonetheless, don't hesitate to 
contribute research or footage as it could be used in follow up stories.

Make sure that when you are contributing research, you evaluate whether 
or not it comes from a credible source. Typically, reliable sources of 
information cite the sources of their data, avoid speculation and 
inflammatory language, and include the author's name. Click here

for a more detailed guide on how to tell if a source is reliable.

We're really excited to launch the Work with a Journalist application 
and hope that you take advantage of the opportunity to contribute your 
footage, images and research. It's a great way for The Real News to make 
sure that our viewers are involved in making real news.
