Topic:    We the Media: The Rise of Open-Source, Grassroots Journalism

Speaker:  Dan Gillmor
          www.dangillmor.com[2]

About the talk:

The collision of media and technology has created enormous
changes for all three major constituencies of journalism.
Journalism is shifting from a lecture to a conversation;
journalists must learn to listen and respond to an increasingly
well-connected audience. Newsmakers, the people and institutions
journalists cover, are the subject of new kinds of coverage, but
can use the same tools to have own conversations directly with
their own various constituencies. The (former) audience has
vastly greater flexibility in the journalism it chooses, and can
more easily become do journalism as well.

About the speaker:

at enabling grassroots journalism and expanding its reach.
Gillmor is is author of "We the Media: Grassroots Journalism by
the People, for the People" (O'Reilly Media, 2004), a book that
