About Gabe

I'm Gabe Semenza, the Victoria Advocate's public service editor.

I've lived in Victoria for about four years. I've been married to my wife, Amy, for a bit longer than that. We don't have kids yet, but the three dogs we have qualify for now ... kind of. We are planning for children soon.

This blog is dedicated to citizen journalists.

The name of my blog, Crowdsourcing, is a fancy word for citizen journalism -- kind of.

“It’s a process in which readers submit individual reports that are collected into a larger dataset for use in reporting a story,” the Online Journalism Review notes.

So long as discussions center on facts, it is grassroots journalism at its best.

I look forward to working with you.
