* “From Mary Treacy, the Minn. Coalition on Government Information:”

 

“This was an excellent, invigorating, free thinking gathering. Thank you. I learned so much and met some of the world’s best communicators. I had to leave early today so I missed the wrap-up, but I am confident that my sentiments were expressed often and better by my new colleagues. Thank you for all of your work that resulted in a unique and wonderful learning experience for all of us.”

*”From Melissa Cornick, a New Jersey-based video producer:”
“I came to your conference seeking greater knowledge of the world outside of network media and the information available was invaluable . . . You, however inadvertently, provided a moment in my life that I will always value and remember . . . Thanks, again.  I had become “the voiceless” and your conference gave me a voice.”

“I found the Journalism that Matters conference in MInneapolis to be extrmely helpful in terms of getting a better understanding of what place blogging is and how it can be a partner in newsgathering for the 21st Century. I left with concrete ideas for new partnerships for my employer, The Christian Science Monitor, that we are already acting on.”
