ProPublica The Los Angeles Times [1] , Mother Jones , USA Today [2] , Salon [3] , Politico [4] , and Huffington Post [5] published our work since May 1. You can, too.
At Daylife , a digital media services start-up, founder and chief executive Upendra Shardanand and his team of young engineers have a name for a new breed of journalists: RoboCop editors. These are the folks who have the skills of both a top-notch software developer and a tested newspaper editor. They can create Web pages within minutes, combining original content with links to breaking news from around the world, streaming videos and slideshows. They can drop in Twitter tweets, customized widgets and Google Gadgets with just a few point-and-clicks. Crazier is that when they walk away from their computers, those newly built pages will refresh themselves. Talk about cyberpunks taking over the news!
