'Bottom-up' journalism from the pros

May 23, 2002

Circulation: Book Crossing was featured on NPR (audio, synopsis) last week. It's a cool idea, a useful variation on a message in a bottle: "Someone who wants to share a book registers it on the Web site, prints out a label and puts it in the book. The book is then placed (members call it "released") in some public place, and the winds of fate take over. Theoretically, whoever finds the book will go to the site and record where they found it, and what they thought of it. Then they'll pass it on."
