CNN iReport: Elmina Castle

I recently heard about this thing CNN was doing called "iReport" where everyday people - not just those with a master's in journalism - could upload stories.

I think it is very smart of CNN to do this. They get sources easy, a few scoops, and maybe even a good story. Of course, it sucks for actual reporters because they don't get paid and CNN gets a free story. But, like an unpaid internship, you get paid in clips.

So, while I apply for jobs and sit on a few stories that might never get published, I threw this Elmina Castle story on there: http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-378837

Still not sure if it was worth it, but I think it is a good travel story and worth a read.
