A Q&A with The Guardian U.S. about its new mobile innovation lab

Nieman Journalism Lab by Laura Hazard Owen

The Guardian U.S. has nabbed $2.6 million from the Knight Foundation to launch an “innovation lab” within its New York City newsroom. The lab will focus on news consumption via mobile devices. Per the release:

Smartphones and Facebook continue to grow as gateways to online news around the world

…Facebook? The new report on the world digital news from Oxford’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism found that 41 percent of respondents, representing 12 countries including the U.S., use Facebook to read and share news during any given week.

Crowdsourcing The Counted: How The Guardian aims to put the audience at the heart of its journalism

Nieman Journalism Lab by Mary Hamilton

On June 1, The Guardian launched The Counted, a large-scale interactive project which counts every person killed by law enforcement officers in the United States. Because there isn’t an official tally of police-involved killings, The Guardian used data from multiple sources, including crowdsourced tips and local media reports. The reporting team have been working to pull names, images, and personal details where possible, plus causes and circumstances of death, into a comprehensive data set. We’re counting because there is no official count.

The answer, he suggests, is a community service-based model grounded on lessons from “the three-decades-old movement of national and community service programs such as AmeriCorps, City Year, and Teach for America.”

The birth of breaking news

kottke.org by Jason Kottke

The completion of the US transcontinental railroad in 1869 in Utah was also the birthplace of the newsflash. The news was delivered via telegraph through a clever scheme: the famous golden spike and a silver hammer were each wired to the telegraph so that when hammer struck nail, the circuit completed and the news raced out along telegraph wires to the rest of the nation.¹
