I've been pretty busy lately and haven't worked on zinepal.com that much.

Last week I also found out about the Knight Foundation News Challenge. The Knight Foundation is a not-for-profit group that grants awards to new media and journalism projects through their News Challenge. Unfortunately the 2009 challenge closed on November 1st and I didn't have enough time to apply.

Last year the printcasting.com project was awarded a significant grant through this challenge. The interesting thing is that their ideas are pretty much exactly the same things I am trying to achieve with zinepal.com. Now I really wish I had heard about this challenge sooner.

But at least now I know what the whole concept behind zinepal.com is called: printcasting. :-)
