NELA Conf Talk: News savvy: Journalists, Citizen Journalism and the News Consumer Oct 21 8:30 am
There’s a talk at the NELA Conference on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 at 8:30 am called “News savvy: Journalists, Citizen Journalism and the News Consumer:
Newspapers, broadcasters, citizen journalists and an array of bloggers provide news and opinion
around the clock on the printed page, on TV, radio and via computers and telephones. With the media
in an unprecedented state of flux, library users can be overwhelmed with sources of information.
What is the impact of these changes on the public in the expanded dialog between news consumers
and creators?
Speakers:
Bill Densmore, founder of the New England News Forum and the Media Giraffe, currently at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, working on a new economic model for web-based news
Fabrice Florin, founder of the non-profit NewsTrust.net: your guide to good journalism.
Martin Reynolds, editor of the Oakland Tribune, will describe the unique relationship he has with the
West Oakland Branch Library in Oakland, California
