Service/product description

Grogger is a publishing platform that enables publishers to better engage their community for content. For publishers to grow, they require more and better content. Typically business hire more journalists to do this. Grogger allows for the community to supply content rather than the editorial staff. Grogger then allows the editors to curate and manage the content through highlighting tools and by delegating superusers as editors of certain pages A good example is: http://springstage.com

What does 'openness' mean in this case?

They are open in that they are creating a new publishing model where the audience is the reporter. Instead of one-way publisher (I talk, you listen), Grogger is enabling a many-to-many model
