I'm totally in awe of the three Harvard affiliates - Jesse Shapins, James Burns, and Kara Oehler - who have just won the Knight News Challenge to develop a software called Zeega to make collaborative multimedia documentary-making easier. Sixteen projects by "journalism futurists" were chosen out of 2,500 submissions. The group will receive a stunning $420,000 of support.
The Harvard Gazette had a nice article about the prize announcement. Congratulations to Jesse, James, and Kara! We'll all be watching to see how your project develops.
