There are a few things that I found to be very interesting about iReports. The first thing is that it allows regular people to report the news with the possibility of getting it on air. Second is that it allows people to post things that not all reporters would be able to cover.
When thinking about it not every reporting company has the money to send there reporters across the world to get a story, but with iReports the can send out assignments and people who are already in a different country will be able to cover the story and then put it up on the site, which then can be used by cable companies.
A big benefit would have to be that stories are being covered by people other then reporters and being used by companies. Also everyone including me has the chance of possibly getting their story aired by CNN.
I believe this is a cool idea and has the potential of growing into something huge that anyone can use and help everyone around the world get the news out better and quicker.
