Combined with the Journal-World, we all comprise one happy fam that wins awards and has even made it into the news ourselves a few times—including The New York Times, NPR [1][2][3], and American Editor (PDF). The online portion of the fam is growing in leaps in bounds thanks to former lawrence.comrades Adrian Holovaty (who left to work at the Washington Post and later start up his own internets outfit) and Jacob Kaplan-Moss (who now works for this start-up), as well as all the current back-end guys in our online department, Mediaphormedia — all of whom created and continue to nurture the Django Project, which is the backbone for the Ellington platform — a content management system for news organizations, including this one.
Today, we continue in our quest to be a top-shelf news team worthy of the truly inspiring creative community that is Lawrence, Kansas.
Of course, whatever our incarnation, we appreciate your support!
