Proposed Guardian data journalism platform wins $35,000 award

Guardian Media Group (GMG) has been awarded $35,000 from Knight Foundation's Knight News Challenge to fund its proposal for a new data journalism platform, called Swarmize.

Swarmize aims to enable editors to conduct research with the help of readers by creating a platform to improve data collection, analysis and distribution of crowd research. It is currently being created by a team of Guardian developers led by General Manager, New Digital Businesses, GMG, Matt McAlister. Read the project proposal here.
