Indymedia.org, which stands for Independent Media Center, is basically an online melting pot of information, written and posted by any and everyone willing to relay their news to the world via the internet. Just simply go to the link, currently located on the left-hand side of the page, and "post your news." Seemingly, there is no editorial system running the website, it is basically a free for all.
OhmyNews International, found at english.ohmynews.com, is an online based news organization accumulating news from all around the world. Citizen journalists have to join the site in order to upload their own news articles, "enjoy[ing] full control over" their work posted on the site. However, differing from Indymedia.org, there does exist an editing process. The editors for the web site overlook postings, which includes "fact checking," examining sources, and determine the over all quality of the articles as well.
