Journalism programmers – join us on Ning!

Journalist Justin McLachlan started a social network on Ning yesterday specifically for journalists and coders to discuss “how programming and the news can go together.” So far, we have 21 talented developers within four sub-groups: Actionscript, HTML/CSS, Ruby on Rails, and Django.

I look forward to utilizing Ning to connect with and learn from journalists who are embracing programming concepts to further storytelling. Therefore, I encourage all II readers to join!

Ning is an extremely simple interface for forums, discussions and group activity. So far the group looks extremely promising after reading the forum “What’s your expertise?” You don’t have to be a coding expert though – just excited to learn.

So, jump on over to Ning and introduce yourself. I look forward to conversing with you further over there!
