Olympic journalism: 16 winning examples of interactive projects from UK news outlets

document Distributed Knowledge, Tools
Summary With the Olympic flame arriving on UK soil earlier this year, digital publishers have been busy producing numerous interactive features and projects to help audiences uncover more detail about a range of Olympic-related topics, such as the torch relay, the Olympic Park, the athletes taking part and much more.
Description The KM Group set up a crowdsourcing project using the hashtag #torchreporter and asked readers to tweet text, photos and video using the hashtag and including the postcode they were watching the torch relay from.

Using ScraperWiki the team then pulled together those tweets and plotted them on a Google Map of Kent. Over the four days the flame was travelling through Kent the KM's #torchreporter project received around 170 to 180 tweets.
