Here's the relevant excerpt from the blog post: 'The Media Volunteer Project asks that all users of the database commit to 12 to 15 minutes of their time sharing or researching - in some way contributing to the online database. In fact, as I couldn’t find a way to view any of the database, it seems that you can only access the database once you have done so. That’s probably a wise move. There are several options for how an individual can contribute time. They can call a reporter, filling in specific database information and following a supplied call script, research, confirm or correct database information, or locate website information.' Lisa Hello,
