Chris Amico's background and debriefing on Newshour's State of the Union application, which added analysis and video to a transcript of the President's speech as he presented it.
Quote: On the editorial side, the app hits a NewsHour sweet spot: The show's core competency is finding interesting people to talk about interesting things. The broadcast loves nothing more than three wonkish experts sitting around a table going back and forth on an issue for 15 minutes. We wanted to bring that kind of analysis to the State of the Union in a granular in and compelling way. Added: January 29, 2010 at 10:17AM EST

Chris Amico is writing a bit of a guide for journalists looking to get started with Django.
Quote: Here's another parallel to learning to speak Chinese. You will make dumb mistakes. You will break things. You will spend days hunting for the one misplaced comma that turns your beautiful application into an ugly stack trace. Added: January 27, 2010 at 7:14AM EST

Pat Thornton talks with Gary Kebbel about a possible future for EveryBlock's open-sourced code: "The Knight Foundation is working with advisers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to form a team to further development of EveryBlock and make it much easier for news organizations to set up the software on their sites, Kebbel said. Knight will work with several news organizations around the country to install EveryBlock for them. Once this additional development is completed, the new code will be released."

From Adrian's personal post about the Everyblock acquisition: "First, this has no impact whatsoever on my involvement with Django. MSNBC.com is half-owned by Microsoft (although it's a separate company), so I expect plenty of Microsoft jokes -- but that's all they are: jokes."

Chris Amico explains: "When I get a new set of data, I spend a good deal of time deciding what's important, and where a story is. I might run it through a visualization tool, like ManyEyes. Starting with data but no story tends to be a slow process. Ending up with a story but no data makes me feel like I haven't done my job."

Regina McCombs apparently talked with a posse of great hacker journalists over the last couple days for insight into Everyblock's code and its open-source release. Great stuff in here from some familiar friends.
