ScribbleSheet was an online magazine based in the United Kingdom with the tagline "Comfortably Contrarian". It was launched on September 25, 2007.
It was one of the first of its kind in the world to publish articles from its readers with little to no editing, in an open source style of opinion writing. 100% of the site's content were written by its readers with no dedicated staff writers.1 2 The majority of articles were written by freelance contributors, journalism students and ordinary citizens.3 The site launched a debates section in which posted articles were debated by members of the community. The site also had an interview section where the founders talk to journalists and members of the blogosphere.
The contributions on ScribbleSheet focus on News, Politics, Society, Business and Technology. ScribbleSheet can be seen as an evolution from Oh My News and Newsvine however, the citizen journalism newspaper model has come under some previous skepticism.4
On March 31 2008 the site stopped publishing new stories. 5
