Good Morning America asks for video submissions

Participartory journalism is rising in various forms, and ABC has now started to ask viewers to submit materials.

This reflects a movement that is evolving beyond "reality TV" productions into lots of new productions targeting niche audiences. For example, Bravo TV now reports on "viral videos".
