This blog is not the home of Spot Us. This is the blog that contains my thoughts on journalism as a larger topic, technology, the Internet, San Francisco, random thoughts, etc.
If you want the home base for Spot Us news, subscribe to our blog. So far it’s turning into an interesting experiment and I’m trying to be as transparent as possible about how we move forward.
While I will try to keep Spot Us and this blog separate, you will have to indulge me from time to time while I do quick recaps. So here I go.
Spot Us Right Now
1. Design is starting. The site is scheduled to launch in full October.
2. Using a wiki we successfully raised money for our first story which will be reported on by Alexis Madrigal. You can watch Alexis report his progress at the Spot Us blog.
3. We already have a 2nd and very ambitious pitch. The Independent Arts & Media nonprofit will work with a reporter to fact check political advertisements for 10 weeks preceding the San Francisco election.
