APOC alumni launch STROOME.com

On April 21, 2010, APOC alumni Nonny de la Pena and Tom Grasty launched STROOME.com. Stroome is a collaborative video editing community for journalists and entertainment content creators who want to share video and audio, and “mix it up and mash it out.” The site allows people to upload their videos, share full videos or clips, and offer various levels of permissions for others to use, re-edit, “mash up” and remix the content.

Stroome.com Wins Knight Foundation Award

Stroome.com, an online video-editing platform conceived and developed at the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, has won a Knight News Challenge award - a two-year grant of $200,000 awarded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

 

The awards announced on June 16 are part of a five-year, $25 million international contest to fund digital news experiments that use technology to inform specific geographic communities. In this round, the fourth year of the five-year program, 12 projects were awarded $2.74 million.
