Aggregated Citizen News Network (ACNN)
Ideas:
- centralized domain name
- subdomains used for new disasters, locations, etc (need to standardize)
- design accompanies mainstream media sources (streaming video, audio, feeds), as well as a standardized method of streaming our own types of content
- process of organizing task-force teams should be documented including how to grant access to publish
