Profile Information
- When you registered, you told us about a particular technology, project, service or idea you'd like to learn about, or which you'd like to present to fellow participants. Briefly, again, what was that?
- I'm writing a series of novels based upon widely-overlooked current events and attended Netroots 2008 to network for volume 1, The Shadow Empire and research volume 2, We The People, in which my fictional journalist-protagonist, having been ejected from mainstream journalism, gets the word out. My third goal was to become more knowledgeable about web platforms and software to create my own site.
- What resource, person, organization or company would you like to see participating in NewsTools2008 in order to spur the transformation of journalism?
- Robert Parry of Consortiumnews.com
- How do you define "journalism that matters," and please suggest ways for journalists and technologists to collaborate (structure, events, groups, processes) in ways mostly likely to sustain it.
- My ideal would be a Village Soup in every town, linking to a Sunlight Foundation-type site so that the national impact of thousands of local issues could be collated, identified, and brought to public attention. If it already exists, please send me the URL
