A series of plugins or bolt-ons that facilitate more productive conversation around a news issue. Based on 'Five W's and a H', this allows users and journalists to address the following questions with a simple user interface:

Active citizens are a rich store of information, ideas and energy.  In many ways they are the reporters for their neighbourhood, the ones who really know who, what, where, when and why.  Many media students are still working in silos, concentrating principally on film, music, or television.   Both will benefit from “getting” the power and range of digital tools – so we want them to do that together.   The proposal is no more complicated that to create e
