Laura Fries: Street Brawl in DC: A Case for Citizen Journalism. People talk about citizen journalism, and they talk mostly of the elites - white soccer moms contributing play by plays of their children, pictures and videos galore; lawyers posting nuanced descriptions of the latest city council development.
