NYC Farmers Market Locator
This app is a mashup of the Google Maps API and the State of New York Open Data API. It allows two ways to search for a nearby farmers market: geolocation via the browser or searching for a specific address or zip code. It shows farmers markets within a 1 mile radius of the given location on the map, while a column of cards gives information on each market, such as schedules, a link to open a native mapping application if on mobile device, and website (if any). It is completely responsive and mobile-friendly. Many future features are planned!

Jay Rosen’s Explainthis.org Would Have Journalists Answer Users’ Questions
Interviewed NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen about ExplainThis.org, an open system for asking and answering questions that journalists can use for story ideas.
If you listen to Rebooting the News, a podcast done by Jay Rosen, a journalism professor at NYU, and Dave Winer, often described as the father of blogging and RSS, you’ve heard their ongoing discussion about the importance of context and explanation in a new system for news.
Building on those ideas and several existing projects, Rosen has developed an idea that could make journalism better by allowing more people to participate in the process: ExplainThis.

How Programmer/Journalists Craft Their Own Study Programs
Interviewed six college students who are teaching themselves a combination of journalism and programming as part of a series on the “programmer/journalist” trend.
Remember the sidewalk scene from “Reservoir Dogs” that showed a group of tough guys walking down the street? They’re all out to do the same thing, but none of them are what you’d expect. The same seems true for aspiring programmer/journalists.
I spoke to six college students who are combining self-taught programming with elements of journalism education. Most work at their student papers, but only two are journalism majors. These students are putting what they know and love together in ways their formal education — and in some ways the industry as a whole — hasn’t caught up with yet.
