A Mission Statement for NewAssignment.Net
I just submitted this idea for a mission statement for Jay Rosen’s project, it reads:
NewAssignment.Net is a not-for-profit enterprise where professionals and lay people cooperatively produce high quality journalism aimed at improving life on planet Earth.
The reasoning behind it:
I wanted it to be big with a mission that everyone can grasp and be part of. Saying we want to improve journalism alone is not enough. Saying we all want to work together to produce high quality journalism to improve life on Earth, who can argue against that?
