Or have you recently done something like that? Need some help?

Then the MADE project might be just what you're looking for.

Drawing on the latest research into news online, on mobile and on tablet - and a track-record of mentoring successful digital start-ups - the MADE team will help

Participants will also be invited to #DJCamp2012, a two-day workshop on how to use cutting-edge data journalism tools and techniques in order to create compelling content in
highly efficient ways, hosted by IBU from 8-9 November (More details to follow).
