Border Battle: Convergence Example

Our local PBS/NPR affiliate, KPBS has done it again - in an even bigger way. The online convergence staff, headed by Leng Caloh, received national attention for its interactive Google map during the 2007 San Diego wildfires.

Now, Leng and KPBS Border Reporter Amy Isackson just completed Border Battle: Bringing Home the Drug War - a joint effort with TijuanaPress.com. The presentation includes maps showing drug-related crimes and trends, videos and a glossary of terms and key players. Now that's information!

Was a "joint effort" a pun or am I just punchy? (Pun intended there. Stop me please!)

(If we were playing cognitive psychologist we could explain the use of the word joint there via spreading activation through related concepts.)
