A new platform aiming to foster independent journalism and collaborative writing launched last week, with an in-built donation system to support journalists' work. Newspryng is a new experiment in crowdfunding for journalism, helping freelancers publish their work and get paid for it. "I wanted to explore whether we could replicate this model with a platform which anyone could contribute to," Matthew Chapman, the editorial lead behind Newspryng, told Journalism.co.uk.
