During a presentation at Poynter by Jeff Sonderman about crowdsourcing election coverage, I got into an interesting discussion on Twitter about crowdsourcing.

Storified by Ethan Klapper · Thu, Oct 27 2011 07:09:09

What does the economy look like where you live? Show us with your Instagram photos (#EconDebate) | 2012 Unfiltered

As the 2012 election heats up, there's no shortage of political coverage and opinion. Sound bites and stump speeches are king. But where'...

.@jeffsonderman raises red flag with using Instagram to crowdsource -- filters, etc. are forms of photo manipulation #SMPolitics

— Ethan Klapper · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:37:41

@ethanklapper I'll follow up with @JeffSondeman after: cropping & adjusting light = "photo manipulation?" Dodgy red flag, IMHO. #SMPolitics

— Alex Howard · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:38:47

@digiphile Cropping and adjusting is generally OK in a newsroom. But artsy filters aren't. @jeffsonderman #SMPolitics

— Ethan Klapper · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:39:21

@ethanklapper I captured a dramatic photo & made it B&W or if I sharpened the contrast & oversaturated, it's "manipulation?" #SMPolitics

— Alex Howard · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:40:14

@ethanklapper @digiphile where airbrushing might be acceptable in fashion features, wouldn't be for fashion documentary.

— darthcheeta · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:44:16

@digiphile I think that would pass in some newsrooms. Different policies #SMPolitics

@digiphile @ethanklapper photo fx equivalent to exposure control, darkroom, or color correx are editing processes.

@ethanklapper @digiphile @jeffsonderman re: Instagram. Is there a difference between a photo and an "Instagram?" #SMPolitics

— Theodore Kim · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:41:25

@ethanklapper @digiphile @jeffsonderman Post marketed its #econdebate push as "Share your Instagrams," not "Share your photos." #SMPolitics

— Theodore Kim · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:42:16

@TheoTypes @digiphile @jeffsonderman Right. Think what Jeff was getting at was running photos in print. Diff standards I guess #SMPolitics

@ethanklapper @digiphile Good point, Ethan. I wouldn't have a problem w/ running them if we put up an Instagram explainer. #SMPolitics

— Theodore Kim · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:45:27

@TheoTypes @digiphile Exactly. Different standards w/all crowdsourcing. They're not journos & don't always follow our standards. #SMPolitics

@ethanklapper Er, who *are* they, that is. #grammarfail #SMPolitics

— Alex Howard · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:48:12

@digiphile The citizen journalists. They're not professionals. Do we know if they collected materials in an ethical way? #SMPolitics

— Ethan Klapper · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:49:05

@ethanklapper Suggest retiring that term & going with "citizen reporters." Images & video they contribute = acts of journalism. #SMPolitics

— Alex Howard · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:50:27

@digiphile Right, but how do we know they didn't interview their friend or do some other no-no? How do they know that's wrong? #SMPolitics

— Ethan Klapper · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:51:55

@ethanklapper Answer: you can req signing releases & agreements but you can't "know" that. That view -> not using crowdsourcing. #SMPolitics

— Alex Howard · Thu, Oct 27 2011 06:52:12

@digiphile I'm all for crowdsourcing. I just like to be cautious. #SMPolitics

<p>Freshman in the School of Public Affairs Tyler Sadonis from North Side will run as the Advisory Neighborhood Commission 3D 02 candidate. </p>

Meet Mr. South side, freshman Deon Jones

<p>Meet Deon Jones, also known as Mr. South Side. Jones, a freshman in the School of Public Affairs, was chosen by the A Voice 4 U campaign to represent ANC 3D 07, where 90 percent of residents live in AU’s South side residence halls.<br /> • <a href=http://www.theeagleonline.com/news/story/anc-candidates-canvass-rally-support/>ANC candidates canvass, rally support</a></p>

ANC commissioner files two complaints against AV4U

<p>Local Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner Tom Smith has filed claims against students running for local government positions with the Board of Elections. </p>

Smith says AV4U misleading voters, diluting D.C. franchise

Tom Smith thinks students are being “bamboozled” by voter registration misinformation circulated by AU student groups, including the A Voice 4 U campaign.

For ANC in Ward 3 - Greater Greater Washington

Along Ward 3's major commercial corridors, especially Wisconsin Avenue, are numerous low strip malls and ugly parking lots, in transit-rich neighborhoods where any developer would be happy to build. But the neighborhoods also have residents most vociferously opposed to nearly any development with the means to delay and even sue to stop projects. Recently, however, groups of residents who favor smart growth in their commercial corridors have banded together to promote a positive vision for their neighborhood, to encourage growth specifically in those areas with the richest transit infrastructure. They helped elect as the ward councilmember, who deserves unhesitating reelection....

. @DCBOEE officially certifies ANC 3D results. Tom Smith wins 3D02 w/ 228 votes, Deon Jones wins 3D07 w/17 votes. Check back for more tmrw!
