The goal behind this site is to create a map of the resources, events, groups and opportunities in the world of creating news and information so that there is a consistent reference.

Wherever possible, this site will point to existing resources that are being actively maintained and updated. Where there are gaps in resources, this site may be home for documenting and indexing materials that are useful.

For the purposes of this site, the term journalism will be used most commonly, however projects that fit under the umbrella of news and information is included. This may also extend into civic information and technology when relevant.
