The following quote is from Jason Haber, one of the founders of iConflict. He will be writing a guest post at NewAssignment.net with more details in the neat future.

"As you point out on your blog, citizen journalism arrived in 2007, but I believe 2008 will be the year it really solidifies its place in the media universe. Unlike other social media news sites, ours is very focused. We aren't covering Britney Spears, we aren't covering sports, gossip or news oddities. This site is about conflict and about empowering people to share and learn more about them. "
