How computer scientists can empower journalists, democracy's watchdogs, in the production of news in the public interest.

From the article
Researchers and journalists are exploring new methods, sources, and ways of linking communities to the information they need to govern themselves. A new field is emerging to promote the process: computational journalism. Broadly defined, it can involve changing how stories are discovered, presented, aggregated, monetized, and archived.
