Knight-Mozilla Learning lab so far
a summary of our experiences, as we learn how to innovate journalism for the better
- For the past three weeks (and one more week), I participated in an experiment, part of the second stage of the Knight-Mozilla News Technology Partnership, which kicked off in May with an online competition that solicited over 300 news innovation ideas from people around the globe.
63 were chosen to take part of intense classes, learning how to make ourideas a reality. Here's a collection of our mugs and where we hail from. I have to say the demographics parallel business school in that there are way more males than females again!
Here's a blog roll of a group of people who will change the future of news journalism for the better: ping.fm/tv63h #MozNewsLab- WEEK 1

#MozNewsLab week one lectures by @azaaza @burtherman & @amandacox now online - Phillip Smith
The participants in the #MozNewsLab are kicking-up such an amazing storm of ideas, that I'm finding it hard to concentrate long enough to put my own thoughts to keyboard this week. So, in lieu of some suitably witty update, here's a quick re-cap of the first week's lectures: The week kicked off with a lecture by the renowned interface designer, Aza Raskin.- "Never doubt that a small group of citizens can change the world. It is the only thing that ever has."-Margaret Mead via @Azaaza #MozNewsLab
