WaPo Labs, Innovation, R&D and the Newsroom
More and more (usually larger) publishers are introducing a labs team into their operations to serve as a startup incubator of technology ideas and products.
Rob Malda, Chief Strategist and Editor at Large for WaPo Labs, discusses what it is they do, and how the labs environment aids in the overall research and development necessary for publishers to succeed.
The WaPo Labs team has created the Washington Post Social Reader and the mobile app Trove, two personalized news readers, along with a number of other experiments that get tested out across such publications such as the Washington Post, Slate, Foreign Policy, The Root and Express.
