Today, our work for the International Reporting Project (IRP) was the subject of an article by Z. Kelly Queijo (@zkellyq) at Handshake 2.0 as part of their weekly Rackspace Tech Showcase series. Thanks to Kelly for the kind words, as well as to everyone at Handshake 2.0 and Rackspace Email and Apps for the forum.

Here's an excerpt from the article:

At NewCity, every project begins with the end-user in mind. For the IRP, the end-user included editors, journalists, as well as readers. According to Melissa Beaver, User Experience (UX) project lead, “In our research for this project, we found that the author was as important as the content. People read a news blog because they like the blogger. The subject is the primary draw but it's a personal connection that keeps them reading.”

Here's a link to the entire article.
