Block by Block: Community News Summit 2010
Join Reynolds Fellow Michele McLellan and New York University Journalism Professor Jay Rosen for a gathering of leading pioneers of online local news sites. Learn what's working - and what needs work - from the frontlines of community news on the Web.
Local online news is coming of age. People who are passionate about news, information and community are rebuilding local journalism, block by block. We’ve developed a list of more than 100 promising local news sites. We’re surveyed their operators to learn more about what they’ve learned and what they need to know.
Survey results and feedback from site operators will help shape an agenda for action at the Block by Block summit. We will bring together local site operators with news, revenue and technology experts to share what they’re learning, find out about resources for news sites, and collaborate on meeting the challenges are ahead. We hope this by-invitation conference will enable online local news to make important connections that will inform and energize the important work they do. Click here to request an invitation.
