The Huffington Post Project

by David Cohn on March 28, 2007 - 4:34pm.

Assignment Zero continues to dominate my time. But I have no intention of letting the NewAssignment.Net blog fade away. Have no fear, this will remain a place to get little tasty tidbits of information on the changing media landscape.

I’m happpy to, once again, report on another NewAssignment.Net venture. The Huffington Post project.

“Campaign reporting by a great many more people than would ever fit on the bus that the boys (and girls) of the press have famously gotten on and off every four years, as they try to cover the race for president.”

It isn’t up and running yet. But I’m happy to know that the tool which has been developed by the Assignment Zero team will soon have a new task. And by then, we would have further refined its ease of use and function.

I have confidence in this project too. It’s being spearheaded by my friend and fellow technologist Noel Hidalgo.

I’ll continue to focus on Assignment Zero — but the goal of NewAssgnment.Net was never to run just one open source media project, but to have regular investigations, ongoing updates of the tool and hopefully influence the way journalism is done in a connected world.
