Jim here in Miami for a two-day summit we're holding on developing new sources through texting.
We've been excited about adding texting as one more way people can interact with us at the show. Now we're experimenting with ways to take that further and develop stories directly from a local community using mobile phones.
Our first stop this morning is Little Haiti, where we'll be speaking with community leaders —and anyone we stumble across — to look for stories that we can try out in the real world.
Stay tuned for updates and let us know your thoughts here!
