Help Me Investigate is a crowd-sourced journalism site based in the West Midlands, and featured in this week's MediaGuardian podcast.
A member of the site puts forward an idea for an investigation, then other members help out by getting hold of documents, sifting data, and writing the investgation up.
It's a great idea, and one that I'd expect to be replicated elsewhere as a more structured form of blogging and citizen journalism.
Current investigations include:
Car Clamping and Parking Fines in Birmingham
Do TV Detector Vans Exist?
& Who Owns the Pubs in Digbeth
