Two of our Medill National Security Journalism Initiative colleagues have launched a blog as prelude to a new project — War 2.0 — that will launch in January.
In early 2012, War 2.0 will present original research on the growth of this field to lay the groundwork for future news reporting. Until then, this site will function as a blog, highlighting examples of network science in the news and across the Internet about how new social-networking tools are spurring a revolution in national security thinking that go well beyond merely Facebook and Twitter.
The War 2.0 project is part of NSJI’s Carnegie Corporation-funded fellows program. Seasoned national security journalist Sharon Weinberger is the fellow doing the reporting for War 2.0. She’s an author, reporter for Wired’s Danger Room and former defense analyst.
