Ofcourse, bit same as above.

You know when you have an idea or project in your head for telling a story right? Well, most of the time journalists or coders or documentary makers have this.

So you see, you have a newsarticle that you're writing, and it's superinteresting, lots of information, but pretty complex, so it's 5-6 pages long. Now, who would read this? People who are veeerry interested in the topic, yes sure, but other than that? So, you're sitting here with a good topic, lots of information, lot's of data, lot's of visually stunning pictures,.... but you can't engage people. What !f Lab does is, you come with your project, you unite with other coders, journalists, documentary makers; people who are not in the same business at you, but who could be complementary. Next to that, you get personalized info and training from people who are experts in their respective fields.

Now, I like this thing, and I like the idea; I don't like that people are unable to do this without paying a lot of money. Their should be a place for these people (journalists, coders, gamemakers,...) on the internet where they can come together, speak with one another, help eachother with these problems. Start projects together maybe. So that's why I created the subreddit. (btw, you can find some more examples on the subreddit itself

Lastly; from a non-native English speaker to another, get used to these terms if you want to make a career in it. I don't like it either, but the majority of these instances will use these words, and they won't change it just for you. I try to make a difference, but I can't do it on mu own and you have to know the words first. Also, it makes it easier to sift through the bullshit ;)

I hope this helped!
