"Money, volunteers, money, patch, and money," Columbia Journalism Review, Sept. 28, 2010.
Last week, some of the busiest people in journalism pried themselves away from their laptops, stood up from their kitchen table offices, and met face to face. It was the Block by Block Community News Summit, where the publishers of about 100 community news sites met in Chicago for the first event of its kind.
Hosted by Reynolds Journalism Institute fellow Michele McLellan and NYU professor Jay Rosen, the conference was the natural culmination of the research McLellan has done surveying the most promising local news sites for RJI. “When we started talking to the publishers, it was so clear that that they were starting to learn things that were worth sharing, and that they were desperate to talk to each other,” McLellan said.
