Project Overview

The Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI) and partner Adobe Systems asked a simple question of MU students: What great thing will you invent this semester?

Judges selected three final teams out of 11 that submitted new ideas for helping news organizations deliver news and advertising and easing the two-way conversation with consumers. These ideas use the new Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) platform for desktop applications. RJI offered each group up to $5,000 in allowable expenses for research, development and testing. Adobe provided access to AIR experts and technical support, plus free admission to MAX 2007, their annual worldwide developer’s conference in Chicago.

RJI will award a $10,000 grand prize, plus a “people’s choice award.” Additionally, RJI will pursue the best options for turning the top applications into real technology that will benefit the journalism industry.
