How to use and edit this meta-article
Here the co-creation of an innovation ecosystem for good journalism, started at KFW Barcelona 2011, continues: the text composes the meta-article; the nodes point at specific elements of the innovation ecosystem.
The Innovation Ecosystem for Good Journalism (IEforGJ) map allows us to continuje the creative process that has been initiated in Barcelona.
We do that by:
I. Co-editing this meta-article The Headings of the nodes provide section headers; the Summary and Details provide the text.
We co-edit the meta-article in four ways:
- by adding a 'comment' node to an already existing one (this is federation – correcting orthography and language is fine, but we do not change someone's substantial contribution by overwriting it)
- by (creating and) editing a content node
- by creating a content node as a question – and inviting a contributor to edit it. We do this by enclosing the node title in question marks; and by sending invitatiolns to specific people to edit the node.
- by editing the Good Journalism Domain Map. Since our core purpose is to co-create something together, and not to merely express opiinions about related themes, we focus our contributions to the meta-article on the ones that are relevant to this design task. The Good Journalism Domain Map on the other hand serves for organizing all other relevant knowledge – all sorts of things that might be useful ('food for thought', or specific know-how) to our project.
II. Producing specific articles We select parts of the text, and corresponding co-authors, and by develop the ideas further within smaller teams.
This is done by editing the entries in the "Spin-off articles and projects" map. III. Producing a single outline
It is possible to produce a printout of the whole tree – i.e. turn this meta-article into printed text. Here is David's explanation:
Option 11 "Email me the map as an outline report" on the Community Tab (when you are logged-in and on a map for which you are the creator / a moderator) lets you output the full content of the map.
The View details link (bottom right on the Details of an idea) – or selecting the Details view from the +Display button (above the map) – opens up the Details view for the selected idea (which is more suitable for printing than the map view).
Notes Co-creating the dynamics of meta-article writing is part of our creative process – the meta-article itself is a knowledge federation instrument:
- by co-editing the meta-article (phase I above) we put our ideas together (instead of leaving them in individual articles, as it is common in academic practice)
- by co-editing specific articles (phase II above) we disseminate our ideas and questions to relevant communities, and invite their expertise into our community.
