Assessing Community Information Needs
A Practical Guide

By Richard Harwood


J-Lab delivers field notes, page 22, on mapping Philadelphia's media ecosystem.

"We found the city's media ecosystem to be ripe for a networked journalism collaborative. We suggested that it be anchored by an independent news website that would collaborate with other news creators and help support and amplify some of the excellent reporting originating in many of the news startups plus provide some original journalism on a half-dozen key issues."
