The 2006 Knight-Batten Awards given by J-Lab are out. All are worth looking at, but one caught our eye, one of the “Niche News” awards in the “Notable Entries” category. Clearly, a lot of legwork on the streets of Boston went into this well-designed project. Now the only question is: Who will keep it updated and how?

Emerson journalism graduate students put
in a combined 500 hours of original reporting
to develop this web chart. The chart displays
connections between more than 100 newsmakers,
organization leaders and activists in Boston’s
Chinatown based on who talks with whom about
local news. The map also acts as a directory
with personal profiles available to help
people connect.
