I was wondering what iReport is so I searched for it. Here goes... Please do not get mixed up between iReport and the actual news from CNN. :) iReport (also I-Report) is CNNs citizen journalism initiative that allows people from around the globe to contribute pictures and video of breaking news stories from their own towns and neighborhood. It is similar to Wikinews in that it allows, and encourages, regular citizens to submit stories, photos and videos related to any breaking news. Submissions are not edited, fact-checked, or screened. [source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IReport] Whats CNN iReport all about? CNN iReport invites you to take part in the news with CNN. Your voice, together with other iReporters, helps shape what CNN covers and how. Stories submitted to CNN iReport are not edited, fact-checked or screened before they post. So we mark all iReports with the label NOT VETTED BY CNN to let you know that this story hasnt been both checked and cleared by a CNN editor. iReports that have a red CNN iReport stamp in the corner have been vetted and cleared. That means theyve been selected and approved by a CNN producer to use on CNN, on air, or any of CNNs platforms... [source: ireport.cnn/faq.jspa]
