During the course of the Future of News workshop, a number of interesting sites were mentioned. Here is a summary (I've also added some of others):
- NewsTrust: Dan Gillmor, who is involved with this site, mentioned NewsTrust in his panel presentation.
Our nonprofit, non-partisan project provides quality news feeds, news literacy tools and a trust network to help citizens make informed decisions about democracy.
The free NewsTrust.net website features daily feeds of quality news and opinions, which are carefully rated by our members, using our unique review tools. We rate the news based on quality, not just popularity. NewsTrust reviewers evaluate each article against core principles of journalism, such as fairness, evidence, sourcing and context.
NewsCred is a digital newspaper that will give you all the world's credible news in one place. We aggregate news from hundreds of mainstream media sources, as well as established blogs, and let our users personalize their digital newspaper within seconds, without any fuss. Our community votes on the credibility of articles, authors and news sources, and we apply our CredRank algorithms to ensure you only get the highest quality news from the sources you love.
- ProPublica: Also mentioned by Dan Gillmor.
ProPublica is an independent, non-profit newsroom that will produce investigative journalism in the public interest. Our work will focus exclusively on truly important stories, stories with "moral force." We will do this by producing journalism that shines a light on exploitation of the weak by the strong and on the failures of those with power to vindicate the trust placed in them.
- Arts and Letters Daily: David Robertson mentioned this in his keynote. Essentially a editorial approach to high quality, current news items. I'm also intrigued by the early 1900s newspaper look and feel.
