In the young but growing world of user-generated news, sites like digg and slashdot dominate in the tech sphere. In the political arena, it is mostly editorial-driven sites that do well - such as DrudgeReport, HuffingtonPost and RawStory. Those sites get a lot of attention, but there are also a lot of so-called "Citizen Journalism" sites out there trying very hard to break through to the mainstream. We're going to run a series here on Read/WriteWeb exploring some of those sites. In this first post we'll provide a brief intro to Citizen Journalism (but with a product focus, not theory), and profile a leading practitioner: Newsvine.

Fantastic seed, Irma. I left a comment on the post myself. To me, this is another sign that Newsvine is gaining in credibility and prominence.
Now, we just have to take advantage of the attention!
