Andrew Phelps writes for the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard that APM's Public Insight Network (PIN) that they will start producing stories from the information garnered through PIN's broadening network of experts. One of the original selling points of the network was that it would broaden perspectives by going beyond the usual sources that the media usually depends on. The trouble has been how to sort through all of the information from the 130,000 experts.
PIN will continue its primary mission of serving 60
newsrooms. The new team will not offer stories to the subscribing stations. They will
generate original reporting. And, they’re starting without a distribution plan,
or even a defined medium.
