The Future Of Journalism

Cross-posted at AirCongress

With the help of a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Jeff Jarvis of BuzzMachine and PrezVid has organized a Networked Journalism Summit in New York next month in New York City. I will be there along with bloggers and new media innovators from across the political spectrum.

Here are some of the participants.
-- N.Z. Bear, The Truth Laid Bear. He has been a key player blog-driven activist projects like Porkbusters and the Victory Caucus, and he was among select bloggers who met with President Bush in the White House today.
-- Henry Copeland, founder of Blogads.
-- Robert Cox, Media Bloggers Association (of which I am a member)
-- Jonathan Dube, CyberJournalist.
-- Jane Hamsher, Firedoglake. She was one of the bloggers who covered the trial of former vice-presidential aide I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby this year.
-- John Havens and Alan Levy, BlogTalkRadio.
-- Arianna Huffington, The Huffington Post.
-- James Kotecki, a college student who gained notoriety as "Emergency Cheese" for his online video reports on YouTube as the site developed a niche in the political world.
-- Mike Krempasky, Edelman Public Relations. He is a co-founder of the conservative blog RedState.
-- Jay Rosen, NewAssignment.Net. He's also an organizer of OffTheBus, "campaign coverage by people who aren't in the club."
-- Micah Sifry, Personal Democracy Forum and techPresident.
-- Mark Tapscott, editorial-page editor of The Washington Examiner. Upon taking the job in 2006, he created a board of blog contributors to the newspaper.

That's just a partial list of people I know and/or have mentioned at Beltway Blogroll. See the full list of attendees here.

Jarvis described the goals of the conference in a post at BuzzMachine:

This is a day about action: next steps, new projects, new partnerships, new experiments. The first two-thirds of the day will be devoted to sharing lessons, ideas, and plans with a representative sample of different kinds of efforts, hyperlocal to national to international, with participants from big and small media, from editorial and business, from the U.S., Canada, the U.K, Germany, and France. The last third of the day will be devoted to what’s next, with participants meeting to come up with new collaborations.

David Cohn of NewAssignment.Net, an organizer of the summit, has details, too. I'm looking forward to the summit.
