But this is not something you should hold against GroundReport.  Its mission is to provide ordinary people an opportunity to report on news that the mainstream media does not pick up on.  For instance you can find people reporting on the <a href=\"http:\/\/groundreport.com\/article.php?articleID=2837173\" title=\"World's richest man is Mukesh Ambani\" target=\"_blank\">major news stories of the day<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/groundreport.com\/article.php?articleID=2836615\" title=\"Philippine International School holds 2nd sport fest\" target=\"_blank\">local news from just about anywhere in the world<\/a>, and every so often a <a href=\"http:\/\/groundreport.com\/article.php?articleID=2833902\" title=\"Radiation Accident or Well-Planned Misinformation?\" target=\"_blank\">scoop that some ordinary chap happened to get<\/a>. And they split the advertising revenue 50-50 with the reporter based on page-views.  All very good bringing power to the people.<\/p>\n<p>So after hearing about the site back in the days before this blog (from the founder&#8217;s proud papa: I went to high school with the founder Rachel Sterne and I ran into her father while at home)  I figured it wouldn&#8217;t be too off topic of me to post some of my writing and gain some notoriety (and some cents). Long story short take a look at this:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<table width=\"500\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"200\"><u>Report Name<\/u><\/td>\n<td width=\"100\"><u>Report Views<\/u><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Consequences of Relativity in Evolutionary Biology<\/td>\n<td>200<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Special Relativity in Evolutionary Biology<\/td>\n<td>87<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Relativity in Evolutionary Biology<\/td>\n<td>88<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>On Absolute Certainty<\/td>\n<td>107<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>On The Scientific View of the World<\/td>\n<td>104<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Total:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>586<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>These are unique page views too.<\/p>\n<p>With the 200th hit to &#8216;Consequences&#8217; I figured I ought to give some  credit where it&#8217;s due.  You can check out my &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/groundreport.com\/reporter.php?username=nogre\" title=\"GroundReport Reporter Page: Noah Greenstein\" target=\"_blank\">Reporter Page<\/a>&#8216;, but I suggest just going to the homepage and poking around.  You might even get inspired to report on something.
