J-Lab’s Projects
Knight Citizen News Network
The Knight Citizen News Network is a self-help portal that guides both ordinary citizens and traditional journalists in launching and responsibly operating community news and information sites.
The Networked Journalism Project
Five news organizations around the country have each agreed to work with at least five hyperlocal news sites or producers in their communities in a Networked Journalism pilot project to gather ideas and lessons for future content collaborations.

When does a news “experience” tell the story better than a news “story”? When can news “games” - say, exercises on making election choices, balancing the budget, or understanding the environmental impact of certain actions - help people grasp important issues better than narrative explanations?
