#IMA09: Hal Plotkin and crowd-funded public media documentaries
Note: this is a fascinating concept that could be highly effective for the production of some genres of documentaries.

crowd-funded documentaries
Maryland Public Television and ReelChanges

We need new funding mechanisms for high quality, public media projects. Maryland Public Television has launched it today. MPT has developed spots that air before local productions that encourage viewers to see trailers of new shows in production and to support them to make them possible.
Mark Fuerst: We accept that users will have more control over our content. But we continually say you can only support us in very particular ways.
http://spot.us/ is a similar site that hires reporters to report stories once they’ve been funded by listeners.
