Pastor, partner tie knot as Prop. 8 vote nears. 16-year couple marry less than a month before Proposition 8 hits the ballot, as many same-sex couples are now doing. This “much-awaited day” wasn’t quite the wedding they’d hoped for, but with voters going to the polls in a month in an election that could make their union unconstitutional, the couple felt it was better now than never.

Patchwork Nation at Chris Amico: Journalist
http://work.chrisamico.com/pbs-newshour/patchwork-nation
Highlights of my professional work. Patchwork Nation is a project covering complicated national issues from a local perspective with a lot of data to back it up. It’s a way to talk about tough subjects–politics, the economy, race, religion, culture–in a human way. It’s also a set of tools to find stories in data that might otherwise be missed. This was my first major project for the NewsHour. I built the Django application that feeds data into the map and controls the county and community type pages.

http://work.chrisamico.com/tag/journalism
Highlights of my professional work. Archive for the ‘journalism’ tag. Journalists need new tools to work online. In the last year, I’ve used more that I can count, most of them free, to find and tell better stories on the Web. Back in October, I started building an online database of such tools as a personal project, just a way to keep track of everything I was using. It has since grown into something I think others will find useful, so I’m releasing it into the wild. Try out Tools for News. James Buck i...

Wednesday, August 13, 2008. For those of you keeping score at home. The Opening Ceremonies were a blast, the Games are underway, and China is currently leading in gold medals. All is as it should be on the sports front. But that has very little to do with me. The day before the Olympics started, I was still in Mongolia. My trip, condensed, was like this:. Train from Beijing to Mongolian border-town: befriended a pair of clueless but adorable French guys beginning their first-ever adventure in Asia. Lake ...
