DotSpots and Pulitzer Center Partner to Enrich News With Pulitzer Content

DotSpots is proud to announce an expanding partnership with The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.

As one of the early adopters of our “dots from a feed” feature, the Pulitzer Center is now automatically distributing their blog posts as dots (or distributed objects of thought), expanding the potential reach of Pulitzer Center investigative reports to an audience of millions.

“Our mission is to increase understanding of international issues that too often go underreported,” said Jon Sawyer, the Pulitzer Center’s executive director (view profile). “The DotSpots model has the potential to help the center in its mission by exposing our reporting projects to new and diverse audiences.”

Now, each Pulitzer report can be placed directly in context of mainstream news articles by Pulitzer staff or DotSpotters helping to “connect the dots” for fellow citizens. Once connected, dots are available for viewing in context, by anyone with the DotSpots extension, or those following a shared DotSpots link, as well as for free to publishers who would like to make this engaging content available to all their readers.

“We are excited that the Pulitzer Center sees the value in people connecting the dots for other people,” said Farhad Mohit, Founder and CEO of DotSpots. “As the list of leading investigative reporting, transparency and activist blogs using DotSpots grows, the network becomes more and more useful for publishers and readers alike, which is a win for all sides.”

With this release, we’re also happy to report that the Pulitzer Center has implemented the DotSpots Reach Widget on its blog, providing its readers and supporters with a tangible way to identify the impact of the Center’s great stories.
