Knight News Challenge: InvestigateNet: Microcollaboration for journalists

Sun, 18 Mar 2012 19:26:50 -0400

Knight News Challenge: InvestigateNet: Microcollaboration for journalists:

Great idea by Saleem Khan. I do wonder whether there needs to be some sort of reward/recognition for collaborating. Not monetary necessarily - just to motivate and ensure journalists get involved.

saleemkhan:

My Knight News Challenge 2012 proposal, InvestigateNet, would ease common, pervasive barriers to newsgathering, through what I call microcollaboration.

Please vote and comment.

newschallenge:

1. What do you propose to do? [20 words]

Enable journalists to surmount structural barriers to newsgathering, through microcollaboration, by linking them with social tools and technologies.
