Possible Case Studies / types of local media:
Forums -- Wikis -- Blogs -- "Newspaper sites" (ex MetroMode below, describe this better) ad-hoc, citizen funded
- RocWiki http://rocwiki.org/ // http://civicwiki.org
- more of a repository, but ours in Ann Arbor is used to document city changes, etc.
- New Orleans citizen media (MH has source through http://thinknola.com/ )
- DetroitYES forums, many other examples http://detroityes.com/
- Local news blogs, ex http://arborupdate.org
- Libraries and local news? (only a couple progressive examples)
- Local digital "newspapers" with organized funding, ex: http://www.metromodemedia.com/ and cousins
- Down to the scale of neighborhood-level discussion lists?
- CurrentTV -- Al Gore TV. UGC. Shorts. Pulled from audience content in some way. They pay for it. They buy all the rights forever and always. Aspiring producers go here to get their stuff? Learn stuff? Launching an IPO.
- The Root. Af am. target. Owned by Wash Post. Not user generated.
- WikiLeaks
- GroundReport -- an attempt to do national news, most of it submitted by users
- ChiTown Daily News. Knight Grantee. Ex-journalist started a paper.

STEP - (non-media nonprofit using online video for activism) Summer Interns Not a traditional case study, nor part of typology, but an example of non-media NGO. We have a 9-minute video produced by KSG class and a paper. Needs filling out, clean-up and tie into whatever our conclusion is about non-profits and new media.
