Guardian.co.uk Crowdsources News Analysis

I was floored when I saw this call-to-action on the Guardian's web site. Special mention goes to @NiemanLab's Twitter feed for their initial posting of this.

The Guardian can still apply its professional standards and qualty control, but it gets free labor (labour) from the crowd to plow through tens of thousands of documents. And citizens are participants.

Huge implications...maybe a new model for news organizations? Or governments?
