More and more we are starting to realize that journalism isn’t about producing a product – but performing a service.

You be the editor: Help assign me a story
|
| Ever had a really good idea for a science news story, but lacked the time or resources to pursue it? |
| The concept for this isn’t entirely original as my digital-journalism colleague David Cohn will soon launch a similar plan with spot.us, and won a nice grant to do so. We thought we might try something similar here. |
| During the next week I’m going to solicit story ideas from readers for untold science-related stories. While I appreciate your suggestions about an expose on Kauai’s beaches being too sandy, I’m afraid my editors say the story should have a strong Texas angle. |
| Anyway, after collecting your great ideas we’re going to select several of them and conduct a reader poll right here. We’ll also throw in several ideas from my editors. |
| We’ll look at the stories you’ve voted on, and the discussion that ensues in the comments, and use both to help us decide which story — or stories — I’ll do. |
