Citizen journalism takes root online / Just plain folks can create their own news sites
Citizen journalism takes root online / Just plain folks can create their own news sites: "Barry Parr's newsroom is his home office in Montara. Working part time, he writes up to 10 articles a week for no pay.
Time to quit journalism? Parr doesn't think so.
He's intensely excited by his work as reporter, editor and designer for Coastsider.com, a one-man Web site that covers news along the San Mateo County coast. If there's a murder, board meeting or endangered red-legged frog where homes are to be developed, he wants to write about it."
