I suspect the Columbia J-School servers were down when you tried to access -- that is a shame, but a bit out of our control. The site, which is built on a customized WordPress template, works like a dream. We've been very happy with it overall. Hope you get a chance to peruse it and perhaps share any thoughts on the "innovation" front! Thanks Tracy.

I assumed that the site was either broken or not up because it wouldn't load on my computer after several attempts in different browsers. I tried one of your deep links and finally got to the site, but after waiting a long time. It's a shame that it takes so long to load because after briefly checking out the site it looks really good!

And in terms of innovative multimedia storytelling, we had a number of great, breakthrough projects, such as: * Our animated Flash "Charter Explosion" map tracks the growing number of schools and is paired with a multimedia timeline on the charter movement. http://columbia.news21.com/?page_id=1233 * Our innovative interactive demographics map zooms in on one city and how the charter movement has reshaped community there. http://columbia.news21.com/?page_id=2624 And there much more at the main site: http://columbia.news21.com/ Thanks for letting me correct the record. "It seems that Syracuse and Columbia have not launched their sites yet." Tracy, you’ve got it wrong — Columbia was among the first to launch their News21 sites this summer, in late July — on the topic of the explosion of charter schools across the country.

The Berkley site is definitely the best for comparing data. Does the user interface inhibit usability, or something more specific like choice of color scheme? Thanks for the input.

It seems that they all are al little bit weak in usability. Sometimes a feel lost, some aother times I would like to comapare datas and it was not an easy thing to do. So I believe that Norman Nielsen books are really important if you wano to do a great job. Well I was really confused, a lot of sites, some really nice.
