News Diffs: A New Project To Track News Revisions

After 36 hours of hacking at Knight Mozilla MIT hackathon this past weekend, a new tool for tracking news article revisions was born from the handiwork of Eric PriceJennifer 8. Lee and Greg Price: NewsDiffs.

As a starting point, NewsDiffs tracks revisions for CNN and The New York Times stories, with more news organizations to come later. From the site’s homepage:
