Winnipeg Free Press cleans up with dirty restaurants
CBC`s David McKie pointed us to this great story from the Winnipeg Free Press.
Reporter Jen Skerritt came to the CAJ conference in Vancouver in May and took the day of CAR training from McKie and Fred Vallance-Jones from King`s. She was so pumped, she headed right back to Winnipeg and asked the city and province for restaurant inspection data. She got it fast enough to post her stories about a month later, complete with an interactive map.

Skerritt has other stuff in the works, and her colleague Mary Agnes Welch attended the 2009 King`s Summer School in Computer-Assisted Reporting. So watch out for more from the Freeps.
