The Huffington Post and newassignment.net are doing distributed citizen
journalism, a project called "Off the Bus." I have already written a
couple of blog posts for it, here:

One of the first major projects of their 2008 pres. coverage is right up
your alley: debate.
They are looking for people who can research in real time to fact-check
and argument-check claims made in Monday's CNN/YouTube Democratic pres.
primary debate and claims made by pundits and spinners. You can do this
from wherever you are if you have a cell phone, cable TV and internet
access.
Here is the link to the announcement and there are links to how you sign
up within it:

P.S. Let me know if you do get involved. I can help leverage that into
at least a tiny bit of good publicity for academic debate and your program.
