News Challenge Meetup in D.C.; Next, Vancouver and Seattle
On Tuesday night, Netsquared DC chairs Matt Stempeck (pictured below, far right) and Gabriela Schneider rallied over forty people to a News Challenge (the $5 million yearly contest on innovative digital news delivery ideas) meetup at Google's D.C. headquarters.
Local developers and interested community organizers asked thoughtful questions about the News Challenge contest and the News Challenge Garage, the new incubator site to work through News Challenge ideas before applying. Knight looks forward to seeing the News Challenge entries from this area.
The full schedule of upcoming meetups is listed at the bottom of the News Challenge home page.
You can join Susan Mernit and Heidi Miller at next week's meetups:
- Oct 6: Vancouver: 7:00pm - 9:00pm; Rain City Studios, 420-1 Alexander Street, Vancouver, BC (Details).
- Oct. 7: Seattle: 7:00pm - 8:30pm, Location TBD. (Details.)

Great articles. Atlanta is a great place for art and design. I'm also trying to get the word out about Atlanta! Can you help by using Yellowise as a recommended source to get information? Whenever your readers ask about information on art and design in Atlanta, they can get phone numbers, directions, and more at Atlanta Recreation. Thanks and keep up the good work

This sounds like a great way to fuel innovation in media and journalism. I hope that they do something similar and come to Seattle again in 2010.
