CNN iReport Review

iReport is a page off of the CNN main homepage that allows the everyday average Joe to upload their own stories that they have made. The layout of the page I like because it is simple. The main page allows you to see videos and stories that the CNN Team i Report has recommended. The explore tab is a simple search tab that allows you to search for stories with iReport. The assignments tab I like because it gives you the real feeling of being a reporter by having an "assignment desk" where there are ideas for stories for people to do. There is your profile tab where you can edit your profile and finally there is the upload tab where you can upload the stories that you have done. Overall I feel a very user friendly site.

I do think that iReport is a good idea. It allows people to go out and do their own thing without having to be affiliated with a news station. While yes, most people's work won't end up on CNN it is cool that CNN does consider pieces to air on CNN if they are good enough.
