	OhmyNews - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		About 20% of the site's content is written by the 55-person staff while the majority of articles are written by other freelance contributors who are mostly ordinary citizens.
		OhmyNews was influential in determining the outcome of the South Korean presidential elections in December 2002 with the election of Roh Moo Hyun.
		A similar open source perspective on news reporting has been explored by Wikinews, with the added distinction that any user can edit articles at any time, rather than having to submit articles to be vetted by paid staff.

		What makes OhmyNews special is the idea that every citizen is a reporter: it's no longer restricted to a chosen few as it was in the past.
		According to OhmyNews research, citizen reporters are overwhelmingly male (76.6%) and mostly young: almost 40% are aged 20-29.
		It was the fact that OhmyNews had so many young reporters that led to the paper's extensive reporting of Roh Moo Hyun's successful election campaign, because he was particularly popular with young voters.

		OhmyNews is in fact little more than a Web site, edited by Oh and his fellow editors, and filled by ordinary members of the public--what the left-leaning Oh calls "citizen reporters"--who submit stories, comments, pictures and sometimes video by e-mail and from their cellphones.

		Interesting that I naively assumed that OhMyNews was representative of the country as a whole.
		And that unitary quality of OhMyNews, notwithstanding the variety of individual voices that feed into it, seems to make it a powerful amplifier for a particular political point of view.

		For example, OhmyNews contacted Samsung for comment before publishing a Samsung worker's expose of how employees were forced to spend months of company time planning the vacation to Germany of the electronics company's chairman, Lee Kun Hee.
