"Networked Journalism" and Pulling Together Data

Jeff Jarvis is just hitting on all cylinders all the time!

His post today nails a point I know we’ve been talking about at the company I work for around the idea of “networked journalism” and building data repositories in a easy to use manner.

“Among the tools for networked journalism I’m wishing for is a simple one for creating collaborative data bases.”

and also this comment

“Here’s another one I want: When a reporter, pro or am, uses a camera phone to take a picture — or, for that matter, to upload text, video, audio, anything — wouldn’t it be wonderful to attach the data the device knows: time and date, of course, and also GPS. This then allows gangs of reporters to submit information that can be plotted on maps and timelines and then associated with other data.”

I just really like where this guy stands in terms of  “getting the job done”.
