Nashville 24/7 has, twice, mentioned nationally syndicated talk show host Dave Ramsey, because of his local roots.

Another syndicated host is in the news now, as Phil Valentine has announced his Valentine Army.

The Valentine Army is a response to what Valentine's press release describes as "one news camera that was focused on one news reporter's agenda...Since TV was invented..."

The project seeks to enlist would-be photojournalists from 72 media markets who would vie for "bounties" by submitting news stories gathered with portable video devices.

"The days are over where there is only one viewpoint from one network; now cameras are in the hands of just about every American," said Phil Valentine, Westwood One Radio Host. He added, "Now, armed with a camera, Americans have the power once only held by the networks to report the news letting their iPhone cameras become the eyewitness; as no one can hide from all of these cameras anymore."

This editor imagines the Andrew Brietbarts and James O’Keefes of this world happily appreciating being paid for their journalist endeavors.
