iJournalism: The Creation and Impact of User-Generated Content
Sponsored by: Hewlett Packard
Mainstream news organizations, solo journalists, independent
entrepreneurs and venture capitalists are all climbing aboard the
citizen media bandwagon, creating outlets for citizen-generated
content for social networking. Is it “journalism?” More often it’s a
fusion of news and schmooze; a bridge media that focuses on
hyperlocal concerns and creates
pathways for new voices. This
panel takes a look at the latest
models as collaborators and
competitors to mainstream media.
MODERATOR: Hiram Enríquez, programming director, Yahoo! Hispanic Americas

Politics of Convergence: When Old and New Media Worlds Collide
Convergence joins together traditional media outlets with new
media partners. But such a marriage brings a clash of cultures,
and sometimes, slows progress. From union issues to developing
new skill sets for employees to deciding what equipment and
software to use, some media outlets struggle on where to begin
and where to go. The panelists will discuss ways to navigate
through those competing worlds to bring together old fashion
journalism with multimedia tools. This session is for editors and
producers seeking to build collaboration, and for reporters
wanting to fit in new media world.
