Our latest launch over at XOXCO. Scott Rosenberg, co-founder of Salon.com and writer of two excellent books, hired us to help him build a site to work toward the goal of tracking errors and corrections in local news.
MediaBugs is a Bay Area-focused site where readers can submit errors in local reporting. The MediaBugs team will then engage the publication and journalist responsible and work towards a resolution. It was funded by the Knight News Challenge.
MediaBugs was built on our PeoplePods software. The identity was designed by Mignon Karghie and carried out through the look and feel of the site by Courtney Patubo. Thanks ladies!
So far, the Toot-o-sphere has had good things to say, and the launch was even covered by The Awl. Cynical though it was, the post made my day. (BTW, the bug they mention in that post was corrected and closed.)
