Over the last several years, the News Challenge projects funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation have produced open source software that journalists, news outlets and anyone can put to use. These tools are now easy to find, all in one place…

KnightApps.org showcases software such as Ushahidi (crowdmapping), DocumentCloud (index, share, annotate and publish source documents), Panda (data analysis) and more. You can learn how this software is being used. Also, you can download the source code to customize, improve, or expand upon this software.

The News for Digital Journalists blog is made possible by a grant to USC Annenberg from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
