Associated Press Managing Editors' National Credibility Roundtables
I am rather proud of my work developing this site. It isn't that the end result is anything spectacularly ornate or even that advanced technologically. Rather, it was a great success in progess and usability. The site, as I found it, was a forgotten outpost on the Internet. My work as a post-graduate web developer for the APME led to this site that now revolves around Carol Nunnelley's book “Building Trust in the News”. Newspapers across the country have used this page to implement credibility roundtables in their communities, leading to better coverage and better communication between the media and the community.
