Care2 News Network Mavens
Who exactly are the brains that make this work? |
|
• You - in the My News section you'll see all the news you've submitted and noted. • Your Friends - in the My Friends' News section you'll see all the news they've submitted and noted. • The rest of the Care2 Community - when you click on a person's photo, you'll see all the stories they've submitted and noted, as well as links deeper into the Care2 social network. |
| What is a "News Maven?" |
|
News Mavens are the smart people that make this grand experiment in democracy work. Through their collective actions, we get a form of "collective wisdom" so the most interesting news gets promoted to the Front Page. The word "maven" comes from the Yiddish, and it means "one who accumulates knowledge." Anyone and everyone who loves progressive news is invited to be a Care2 News Maven - the Care2 News Network depends on your participation!
There are two types of news mavens: • News Finders • News Analysts |
| News Finders |
|
These members scour the web, looking for the freshest, most interesting news to bring to the Care2 community. Some of the most prolific News Finders are listed in the box at the right. If you love to seek out and share news, you're a News Maven!
|
| News Analysts |
|
These members read newly submitted news stories, ferreting out the most noteworthy (and problem-reporting stories that shouldn't reach the Front Page). Analysts with the best track record for choosing the Front Page stories are listed in the box at the right.
