- LOCAL'S LOREPHILOSOPHY The most enchanting journeys throughout one's lifetime are those that reveal the unexpected: and so begins the metamorphosis from lost to local. Here is a glimpse into an everyday beauty that is found in places that are treasured by locals, but often overlooked or forgotten by tourists. It is the beauty of daily rhythms. It is apart from crowded streets and camera flashes, and lurks down cobblestone laneways freckled with cafes, the feeling of familiarity in the air, as baristas brew
- Stealth FighterStealth Fighter is a web application that tracks changes in articles of twenty political & economic online newspapers. The name comes from the English term ‘stealth edit’ which means a journalist attitude that rewrites or changes parts of the article after publishing it. With our application we would like to draw attention to this unethical process and our goal is to repel the unverified or deliberately false contents.
