"The Daily Dot is the hometown newspaper of the World Wide Web. It is the paper of record of the digital community. From the virtual street corners, town squares, and back alleys that make up the online world, it reports the noteworthy daily occurrences and provides a forum to debate the day’s issues. It is the story of this new and vibrant place."
"The Detroit Free Press is telling a fishy detective story with Intersect.
“It seemed perfect,” said Director of Digital Audience Development Stefanie Murray, who suggested that a Free Press reporting team use Intersect to chart their 13-day, seven-state effort to investigate the menacing northward invasion of Asian carp.

Spaces that should be full of innovation and positive collaboration on the future of our industry are instead unimpressive and, for lack of a better word, boring. They’re boring because we let them be. They’re unimpressive because we’ve settled for more of the same-old same-old.
If we’re going to shake up this industry in a meaningful way, we can’t continue yelling into an echo chamber. We need to do better."
