The Groundswell that Pulled Off Radio OFA →
OFA built a program, called Groundswell, that slices up certain organizational tasks into discrete bits that can be accomplished by individuals but add up to a substantial effort, a la the crowdsourcing efforts of Pro Publica’s distributed Reporting Network.
