I really need to update ‘11 Layers’ article…
By Steve Outing on Sep 10, 2008 in Citizen media
This popped up in my ego filter: Colorado State University adjunct professor of journalism Jeff Browne assigned my old “11 Layers of Citizen Journalism” essay to students in his Online Writing and Journalism class. (It’s been a popular article over the years; I often see it on reading lists.)
I wrote that piece in 2005 when I was working for the Poynter Institute. While it’s held up somewhat well, it’s nevertheless dated. One of these days when I have some free time (yeah, right), I’ll try to do an updated version.
To Browne’s students: Please keep in mind that it was written several years ago, some of the facts are outdated, and the warranty on my words is long past!

While it may have been written in 2005, most of it remains pertinent to journalists today. Only a few things have changed, but more so new innovations need to be added. I look forward to reading about your new ideas and applying them in my own work.
