OffTheBus (OTB) is a citizen-powered and -produced presidential campaign news site sponsored by the Huffington Post and New York University's NewAssignment.Net. Inspired by Timothy Crouse's "Boys On The Bus," an account of the 1972 contest between Nixon and McGovern that chronicles a campaigns' ability to manipulate the press and orchestrate campaign coverage, OTB was founded to better presidential campaign reporting. The project depends, in large part, on its on-the-ground citizen reporters and on cutting-edge distributed reporting techniques.
