The Korean citizen journalism site OhMyNews has started a fundraising drive to enlist 100,000 readers to fund their operations:
The goal is to create a 100,000-member supporters' club with each member paying $8 a month. Oh expressed confidence, saying some 3,000 supporters have so far signed up as paid subscribers, although the site will continue to be open to the public free of charge. The 3,000 new supporters are in addition to 1,000 existing contributors, who have been paying the same amount to subscribe to a weekend print edition.
