This week’s Pollenizer Podcast is a little different, where I talk with the Public Interest Journalism Foundation’s chairman Margaret Simons and Secretary Melissa Sweet. I am also on the board, which you can read a little bit more about here
The Foundation was set up to explore new approaches to news through technology – more specifically the web. We are about to launch our first start-up – YouCommNews.com and I speak to Margaret and Melissa about what they are hoping to achieve with the project. The site was built using the open source technology of US-based Spot.Us – we chat a bit about that and the broader challenges journalism is currently facing.
I hope you find it interesting.
