The funder behind the Boulder Carbon Tax Tracker project is also behind an interesting new web site called MediaShift Idea Lab. The idea of this group blog, launched just today, is that that will allow us, and other innovative Internet projects Knight is backing with grants, to work through the lessons of our online efforts with each other and in the public eye.
As the editor Mark Glaser puts it, “Idea Lab will be a place where you can read about what innovators are doing to help reinvent community news. The dozens of authors at this new group blog — hosted by PBS.org and funded by the Knight Foundation — have received grants from Knight in their 21st Century News Challenge, and are going to report first-hand on the status of their projects.” How’s that for transparency?
Check out our first entries on Boulder Carbon Tax Tracker– a blog post about our initial progress with the project, and another about some lessons learned. And there’ll be more to come, if you want some insight about the development of the project itself.
