Atlanta - Time Warner's CNN on Monday launched CNN Exchange, a new feature on its news website that will offer user-submitted stories, pictures and video. The "citizen journalism" site will be powered by Internet TV service Blip.TV. CNN said that it aims to place some amateur news content submitted to CNN Exchange on its cable TV news channels. In addition to seeking amateur video, pictures and text reports of newsworthy events, the site features the blog of anchor Anderson Cooper alongside "commentaries" from CNN.com users.
