RJI News Collaboratory

Project Wikis

Check out the JurnosWiki -- it's our lists of resources, including:
-- what's starting to be a pretty comprehensive list of niche news organizations....please join the wiki and add to it. Info on how to join the wiki is on the start page of JurnosWiki.
  • -- case studies of topic-based or geographic-based niche news sites or networks, including WestSeattleBlog and QuincyNews.org. There's a template in that section in case you want to add your own.
  • -- some good how-tos for setting up your business, including a basic business assessment tool to help you decide if you should really take the plunge into entrepreneurial journalism.
  • -- a growing number of links to other resources, including blogs, social media info, webinars, and workshops.

  • The wiki is also a place that Collaboratory members can work together to develop their own projects. Sometimes you just need a wiki in addition to a Ning site like the Collaboratory to get things done.

    A wiki can help you:
  1. Define projects on which the teams will work, and defining tasks within those projects.
  2. Organize teams: Who will be on each team, and what tasks is each team member responsible for?
  3. Update progress: Simply, which tasks have been completed and when.

One example of a project is BUILDING BLOCKS where we're putting ideas for a resource guide on how to launch a niche news site.
