New journalism & technolo­gy prototypes from Northwestern student teams

You're invited to see the latest prototypes from teams of journalism and computer science students in Northwestern's Collaborative Innovation in Journalism and Technology class.

Each team will present their work, audience members will have the chance to ask questions, and we'll end with pizza and conversation.

Among the seven projects:

• A news-video search engine;

• A tool to help journalists manage a Twitter list;

• A site that highlights the most frequently shared news links for the 10 largest metropolitan areas;

• A service that recommends news stories based on the content of a user's tweets.

Each of these projects has been built by teams of journalism and computer science students over a 10-week quarter. The goal is to build a working piece of software for journalists, publishers or media consumers.

The best of these projects may move into the Knight Lab for further development and deployment.
