Clickable maps of undeveloped waterfront. Smart Growth maps of a coastal resort. Online cancer risk calculators. Webcams in Spanish-speaking homes. These are among 16 new ideas to help newsrooms engage their communities that will receive funding next year from the Pew Center for Civic Journalism. Among the projects funded: an interactive, community-based plan for developing the Everett's two waterfronts, and an online effort to help the booming coastal tourist community of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina plan and control growth.
