Poligraft Tool for Journalists, Politicos, Voters

, ,

Poligraft is a new, geeky Web tool that the Sunlight Foundation just launched. You can plug either a URL or text into the tool and it will analyze the information and link you to groups that donate to politicians.

…Let’s take a look at CNN‘s story on the “buzz” over Proposition 8. When you drop that story’s URL into Poligraft, you can see how various groups mentioned in the story give money to one party or the other.

The Wall Street Journal reports:
Several newspaper publishers have reported solid growth in digital advertising revenue for the second quarter in recent days, helping offset continuing declines in print advertising. The New York Times, for instance, reported 21% growth in digital-ad revenue against a 6% drop in print advertising, keeping total advertising “roughly flat” with the year-earlier quarter. Digital now accounts for 26% of its total ad revenue, up from 22%.
