Original Reporting:

1. How to deal with credibility issue - accreditation, anonymous witness reports
2. How to protect sources
3. When can original reports be called into question, how to avoid "POV" as a general purpose accusation
4. What types of reporting there can be: from pre-announced cultural events to on-the-spot coverage of accidents and disasters
5. How to integrate existing original reporting projects: Indymedia, OhMyNews, Dan Gillmor's project (should all be invited to participate)
6. Simplifying contribution - do we need an easier submission screen?
