It is a collection of stories and resources shared at the inaugural Journalism 360 Unconference + Demo Night, July 24-25 in New York City. Journalism 360 is a joint initiative of the Knight Foundation, Google News Initiative and Online News Association.
I did not attend the conference. I am sharing the document with this community as I thought it would be of interest. Attribution for this document should be given to the Journalism 360 Unconference group at the link above. I did not organize this info, though I wish that I had.
