Media Cloud received a nice write-up in the Times today, featuring Media Clouders Ethan Zuckerman and Yochai Benkler.
Like a lot of new ideas, Media Cloud started with a long-running argument among friends. Ethan Zuckerman and a handful of his colleagues at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School found themselves in endless disputes about the mainstream media and newer digital variations. Who sets the agenda? How is public debate shaped? What topics are covered or ignored?
I just read the NYT article and found it very interesting. I have seen the media cloud on some sites and wondered how to get it and its applications. I also read about your release of the code and I am looking forward to following the developments, joining your community and figuring out how I can use it. I want to be able to track ideas in the nonprofit world in the USA and also international NGOs around specific issues. Congratulations and thank you for the openness.
Perhaps you obtain reprint permission and post the article.
