Geeks and Journalists Unite!
Greetings from Yahoo! headquarters in lovely Sunnyvale, Calif. For the next four days, our crew at StartupMedia.org will blog from NewsTools2008, a conference of 200 journalists, tech geeks and entrepreneurs, discussing technology and the media.
As journalists and technologists fling ideas off each other here, our students Jocelyn Buras, Annalyn Censky, Kahley Emerson, Joshua Sprague and Michael Texeira will bring you the latest news on what promises to be a valuable concept and design mashup.
Over the next few days, please join us as we explore a variety of concepts and questions, including:
- What has changed between the traditional newsroom and the emerging news ecology that creates new and interesting opportunities?
- How do we understand the resource flow of information, money, the intangibles and the tangibles?
- What can we create at the intersection of journalism and technology to support the well-being of democracy?
