newsvine, news by you

In Korea they already have a website that is made by the readers (Ohmy).
On Frankwatching I saw this tip:

http://www.newsvine.com

It is still in beta, but looks very interesting. This can function as a "portal", sorry for using that out of date term, but that is what it is, for the news you would like to receive. You can publish articles and if you do that good, meaning you have high relevance, you will make more money on the ads that accompany your articles (you get that money). Next to your own rss feeds, that generate your personal news window, you can browse the newsvine for new points of view. Not everybody will do that, but I can imagine (as a former journalist) it is a very rewarding source for professional journalist to skim for interesting items. Big and small news..
