Another piece on Rafat Ali's conference in LA where NowPublic CEO Leonard Brody is talking about the impact of 'voter-generated content'.
Other media executives said what's different about this campaign is that people are contributing to a near real-time feedback loop through the Web that's changing how stories unfold.

"The networks that provide 'first to see' immediacy (in the news) will rise," said Leonard Brody, co-founder and CEO of NowPublic, a citizen journalist Web site that has more than 140,000 contributing writers.
