Not long ago Publish2 went into public beta (for journalists only, though). While it is still very much in the beta phase, we can show off some screenshots from this project. As the founders describe it, “Publish2 is a web-based newswire that makes it easy for journalists and newsrooms to gather, publish, and distribute links to the best news on the web. Like traditional newswires, the Publish2 newswire is a cooperative effort?tapping into the collective editorial judgment of newsrooms and independent journalists, distributing links across the newswire and driving traffic to high quality journalism. Our mission is to help journalism survive and thrive on the Web by promoting the practice of link journalism.”

We worked with the Publish2 team to create their logo and to design the user experience and user interface for this robust site and application (but did none of the markup, programming, or CSS). We continue to work with Publish2 to expand and improve the features and overall user experience.

Publish2 is free for professional journalists who agree to maintain Publish2’s strict editorial standards. (more…)
