Spot.us Founder Lands Berkeley J-School Gig

Spot.us founder David Cohn just landed a new gig as a full-time instructor at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. Cohn will be “conducting research on economic models of online journalism publications and help to develop business products for supporting hyperlocal news websites” as part of a grant from the Ford Foundation, according to the press release.

Cohn clarifies on his blog that this new venture does not mean the end of Spot.us:

Spot.Us has enough money in the bank to give us a runway of at least one year – possibly more (August was our first break-even month!).
