EveryBlock teams up with the Chicago Tribune
July 24th, 2008Posted by Laura Oliver in Uncategorized
EveryBlock, the local news and data aggregation service, has gone into a beta partnership with the Chicago Tribune.
The paper will publish a map and local news articles powered by EveryBlock, an announcement on the site’s blog says. Articles from the last 48 hours will be plotted on the Trib map to allow users to search geographically.
“[I]t’s an experiment in a new form of news dissemination – that is, news filtered at the block level – and journalists can look to us for inspiration in new forms of publishing information. Second, we unearth a lot of government data that journalists might be interested in researching further,” EveryBlock founder Adrian Holovaty said in an interview with Journalism.co.uk.
