This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

Journalists need to be able to make the leap to a web-first, web-centric environment. And they also need to bring along with them the fair, accurate, contextual search for the truth that defines their role in democracy.

This grant will help to expand their multimedia training workshops, add new seminars on emerging technology and increase both distance-learning and on-site training for newsrooms. All activities will be marketed and branded under the banner of the Knight Digital Media Center. Program participants will return to their newsrooms with multimedia storytelling skills; an understanding of digital technology; an ability to teach others and a new mindset that will make them leaders in making the transformational changes newsrooms need to survive and thrive in the […]. |
