MySpace uReport: Fox News, MySpace To Team Up On Citizen Journalism Feature

[meegbear]

Fox News and MySpace are expected to announce Monday a new partnership that will allow MySpace users to upload citizen journalist reports with the chance to be featured on Fox News.

The MySpace uReport community represents the first partnership between Fox News and MySpace, which are both owned by News Corporation. Fox News already uses the uReport brand for its citizen journalist coverage.

MySpace users will be able to upload videos, photos, and stories in various MySpace uReport categories — including USA, World, Entertainment, and Politics — which could then be used on Fox News or foxnews.com. Users will also be able to link to their favorite Fox News personalities' profiles.

In January, MySpace partnered with the Wall Street Journal to send one MySpace user to the World Economic Forum in Davos as a special correspondent.

1. I smell lawsuits!

First time one of these citizen journalists lies (and they will if they feel compelled to work for Faux "News"), then Faux, mySpace and the "reporter" should get their butts sued off.
