EveryBlock’s creator says “follow your passion”
Posted by Mediascaper on February 5, 2009
I’ve put up a couple of posts about EveryBlock, here and here. Today, I found David Cohn’s brief interview with EveryBlock creator Adrian Holovaty at the Poynter Institute. Go to Aggregation is Creation at NewsInnovation to watch their talk.
Toward the end of the discussion, Holovaty offers advice for computational journalists, which I think could apply to journalists of all stripes: “Pick something you’re passionate about, and make a website about it.”

That all goes back to what first-time screenwriters, novelist, etc. are told: Write what you know.
