What is Open Source Media?

The term Open Source originated as a software development term wherein the general public was invited to add or make changes to improve the source code of a piece of software.

Before the implementation of our fully interactive website on May 1, 2009, Open Source Media referred to the first few pages of the printed version of the magazine where news and opinion letters submitted by the general public were published.

Our new website now realizes the full potential of Open Source Media by allowing citizens of the web to post content (including related photos) directly to our website. Submitted content may be subject to editing for grammar and spelling only when used in the print editions of , however all edits will be transparently tracked.

As a check, we also invite the general public to post comments below submitted articles for further discussion. If you ever read anything that disagrees with the facts as you know it, please post a comment on this website to voice your concerns.
