David Weinberger, Joan Shorenstein Fellow (Spring 2015) and senior researcher at Harvard’s Berkman Center, introduces his newly-published discussion paper exploring the successes, challenges and opportunities for news organizations using APIs. An API (application programming interface) enables websites and applications to talk to each other and efficiently share data and functionality across sites and platforms. In this podcast, Weinberger provides both practical recommendations for creating open APIs and a vision for a future of online news where open APIs become commonplace – enabling a new era of interoperability and shareability across the Web.
