The vision

Journalism and the open web are built on common values. And, like the web, the future of journalism lies in universal access and participation.

By this time next year, newsrooms around the globe will be tapping ideas, software—and, most importantly, people—that emerged from this partnership.

News should be universally accessible across phones, tablets, and computers. It should be multilingual. It should be rich with audio, video, and elegant data visualization. It should enlighten, inform, and entertain people, and it should make them part of the story.

For the next three years, we'll imagine and build stuff to advance the state of the art in web-based journalism. All that work will be open source, and available for others to use and build upon. Help us bring open web innovation to the news biz.
