Jornalismo Digital

David Appel, um jornalista norte-americano freelancer, queria fazer uma reportagem sobre açúcar e dieta. Em vez de oferecer o trabalho a uma revista ou jornal, pediu doações no seu blog. O resultado:

My readers have really come through: in just 24 hours, I've received $370 in donations from those interested in reading more about sugar, diet, and politics.
Wow. That's great -- thank you all.
I'm going ahead with reporting on the story, and hope to have something out in a week or so. I have some other work I'm doing, and about to move soon, so it may stretch into the latter parts of May.
