Journalism Accelerator

the journalism accelerator is a nonprofit company that crowdsources and distills knowledge from across news communities to help journalism develop new, sustainable models. the ja connects networks, hosts discussions, finds useful resources and tracks ideas to support and share emerging practices in the news and information fields. people are responding to the collapse of the old news business model with remarkable innovations. but much is done without knowing what others are trying elsewhere. the ja breaks down those silo walls, engages people with unique knowledge, collects the inventory of experience, brings it all together in dynamic discussion and distills this down to practical, useful information. whether it’s live chats, curation of helpful resources, crowdsourced tips and how-tos, original reporting on the blog, ongoing interviews or featured content, everything we do ties to surfacing solutions that point toward sustainable models for journalism.
