Conversationalist 2: <\/strong>Maria Rojas<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I was so impressed with the conversation Maria Rojas and I had this week.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s a student at Elon University \u2013 actually, she just graduated and is looking for right livelihood.\u00a0 But she\u2019s got an impressive dossier already, from her work with Michelle Ferrier and in Costa Rica, where she made a great website for Earth University La Flor [http:\/\/asmallbrightidea.com\/laflor\/PAGES\/indexLAFLOR.html<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Maria loves event planning, and I\u2019m hoping she will help with some of the logistics and organization at next week\u2019s Journalism That Matters in Detroit!\u00a0 (She\u2019s planning to help with next year\u2019s follow-up Create or Die conference in North Carolina.)<\/p>\n

Maria and I discovered we share a passion for storytelling, and both of us hope to grow as storytellers and as collaborators at next week\u2019s confab.\u00a0 She told me that it\u2019s important to her that stories be told in different formats and styles so that a broad range of audience can understand them.\u00a0 She predicts that media of the future will be more collaborative and less hierarchical.<\/p>\n

She reminded me that one of the highlights of JTM gatherings is the mix of ages.\u00a0 Those in her generation are not nearly as depressed as some of us grizzled journalists are \u2013 and she\u2019s creating the future, so we might as well join the joyride.<\/p>\n
