This is a collection of links to online news sites with a strong focus on citizen participation and in many cases citizen written news or content.

This list is being interactively compiled by member of http://DoWire.Org and anyone else who happens across this page.

We are going to start with a limited set of initial categories. Please add sites in the proper place.

All fields are optional. The more information we gather the easier it will be to gather lessons.

For online advocacy efforts, please add those to our everyday citizens link list.
