- Storify seeks wider audience for journalistic mission
Storify's co-founder says the site's mission is to find and share meaningful, journalistically sound news amid the cacophony of social media, a mission it hopes to bring to a wider audience than the journalism community as it tries to monetize its model.

- New York Times uses election coverage to experiment with apps
New aplications should have a more distinctive feel, and offer users something unique to the medium, The New York Times says, and so the paper is using its election coverage to experiment. “We want them to feel less like a feed of articles and have the same dynamic nature we’ve created with NYTimes.com,” said Fiona Spruill, editor of the Times’ emerging platforms team. The challenge is complicated by the demand to provide live, interactive content across a wide array of platforms. Nieman Journalism Lab

| About API |
The American Press Institute's purpose is to educate constituencies about the value of newspapers and to provide training,
research and best practices for newspaper industry executives. Founded in 1946, API is located in Arlington, Va., at the
headquarters of the Newspaper Association of America. The API and NAA Foundation boards voted to merge the NAA Foundation
into API in early 2012. The merger was finalized on February 6, 2012, and the new organization retains the API name.
