A lot of the stories that are found on spot.us are investigative journalism stories that are looking into injustices in the system. They are mostly stories that are trying to right a wrong that someone perceives in society. It is a lot of local news stories that might not otherwise get intense attention, but through the collaboration efforts of a community, these important stories can be told. The quality of the journalism seems as if it could be good if the right people got involved, and it appears that the people who are pitching these stories have a specified route they are planning on taking to tell the story in the best possible way.
Five stories I would fund on spot.us include:
1. A story on accessibility options in Yellowstone Park and Grand Tetons National Park ($25)
2. A story on toll hikes for disabled passengers on the T in Boston ($10)
3. A story on the effect the Bronstein apartments are having on the city of Nashua, N.H. ($10)
4. A story looking into the effectiveness of the Oakland Police Department ($30)
5. A story on the struggle to preserve liberties when we are living in a society of tight security ($25)
