Citizen Journalism in Action: A Practicum

This panel looks at examples of successful citizen journalism projects and addresses issues of interest to those looking to launch such ventures themselves  — how to get started,  add interactivity and features, and tackle technical issues as well as build participation, create policies and procedures, and relate to the community at large.  In short, this is an overview of web-based citizen journalism in action with an emphasis on doing it yourself. Moderator: Lisa Williams, H2OTown. Panel: Christopher Grotke, iBrattleboro.com; Deborah Boisvert, Philbrick James Forum; Mel Graykin, Philbrick James Forum; Gordon Joseloff, Westport Now; Dan Barlow, reporter and citi-J site user.
