Knight helps us advance map based storytelling

Knight Foundation has awarded a grant to Vizzuality and CartoDB to develop an open source tool for journalists that will enable better storytelling with maps online, simplifying the process of combining narratives, maps, and interactions into a single web page. The project aims to test how newsrooms and independent journalists use interactive maps in their stories and explore how text and multimedia can enhance maps. Vizzuality and CartoDB will collaborate with journalists to isolate and simplify key online mapping techniques that enrich digital stories, developing an experimental new library for combining maps and other content on the web. The grant is part of a group of 23 projects exploring new approaches to delivering information to the public, with the next round of grants applications due January 31st.
