Folk, der følger med i mine læsetips til læsere af denne blog har muligvis set det, men en ny tjeneste kaldet ReportingOn er gået i luften. Det så jeg hos JD Lasica.
ReportingOn er, tilsyneladende, en mikroblogtjeneste meget a la Twitter, hvor journalister kan skrive korte beskeder om de historier, de sidder og arbejder med lige nu.
ReportingOn.com is a simple way for journalists to update their peers on the stories they’re working on right now. Tag your 140-character-or-less updates with the beat you’re on, and find peers reporting on similar beats to make connections, introduce yourself to potential mentors, or discover an unsung hero.
Jeg kan umiddelbart godt have min tvivl om, hvor stor en succes, ReportingOn bliver, da alle journalister, der kender til og bruger mikroblogging formentlig er på Twitter og måske også Jaiku, der tilmed har en kommentarfunktion.
Uanset hvad, kan det måske være meget spændende at se, hvad andre journalister sidder og arbejder med. Men er journalisterne klar til at fortælle om, hvilke historier, de sidder med, inden artiklen er skrevet?
ReportingOn er skabt af Ryan Sholin og er et bidrag til Knight News Challenge:
We’re giving away around $5 million in 2009 for the development and distribution of neighborhood and community-focused projects, services, and programs.
If you have a great idea that will improve local online news, deepen community engagement, bring Web 2.0 tools to local neighborhoods, develop publishing platforms and standards to support local conversations or innovate how we visualize, experience or interact with information, we’d like to see it! You have the opportunity to win funding for your project and support within a vibrant community of media, tech, and community-oriented people who want to improve the world.
Til de teknikinteresserede:
Hele skidtet kører på Django, som jeg ved, Rob Curley sværger til. Til at starte med blev det bygget på Drupal, men det gik Sholin væk fra igen. Læs hans blogindlæg, hvor han begrunder systemskiftet.

Thanks, Lars! I’m sorry I don’t speak Danish, but I’ll bear with the Google translation on this one.
I never got that far in Drupal; I experimented with it and decided that Django would be best for this project. I use Drupal a lot for other projects related to launching blogs for other people.
I *highly* recommend getting involved in the Knight News Challenge program to anyone truly interested in helping their community get the news and information they deserve.
Hi Ryan
The Google Translate isn’t quite spot it, but it gets close enough so you can understand it 🙂
I’ll be sure to look more into the Knight News Challenge. I hadn’t seen it mentioned anywhere before but it looks very interesting!
