About MediaCritic

A vast and essential conversation about the state and future of the news media is underway today. MediaCritic aims to pull together the threads of that conversation -- with, we hope, your help!

Our goal is to provide a useful filter of the most valuable media commentary from other sites, outlets and platforms. We're also going to publish original contributions of our own, and provide a space for anyone to contribute. We intend to combine editorial attention with the wisdom of the crowd -- and see what the two can accomplish together.

We're a nonprofit, community-based effort. MediaCritic's founders are Dan Gillmor and Bill Gannon; it's edited by Scott Rosenberg.

The site is very much a work-in-progress as of our January 2010 launch. This welcome post lays out some of the ideas we're starting with. We're happy to hear your comments and criticisms.
