Another Collaborative Opportunity for Citizen Journalists and Community Media Producers
As I’ve been saying here, there are increasing opportunities for access producers to connect with citizen media types.
On August 7th at Harvard Law School, Dan Gillmor is convening a Citizen Journalism “Unconference”:
The purpose is to brainstorm some key aspects of citizen journalism, including principles, techniques, tools, business models and more.
The conference will be in the ‘unconference’ format. That is, the audience will be the experts — no formal panels, but rather excellent moderators drawing out what we collectively know — and the idea is to learn from each other.
This should be another great opportunity for these two groups to meet, discuss, share ideas, form collaborations and help bridge the gap between community television, print, and the Internet.
