Subject: UPDATE: Bring a guest for $5 to Newsout on Saturday March 21
PLEASE FORWARD OR REPOST
Dear Friend of the NENF:
Have you registered yet to particpate in "Newstools," on Sat., March 21
at
the BU College of Communciation?
As a New England News Forum supporter, we invite you to bring a guest
for
just $5. Do you know a citizen, a public official or a non-profit or
civic-group manager or volunteer who has an innovative way to reach out
to
constituencies with the web? Do they have a story about how shrinking
news
coverage is affecting the civic life of a community? Bring them.
We want to collect ideas and stories from throughout New England --
then settle on some ideas for action.
And we've got an all-start group of collaborators to get us started,
including Steve Clift . . . the nation's expert on connecting people
with
government . . . Jane Stevens . . . who is starting the "RJI
Collaboratory," a place to help citizen-powered local onlline news
communities to grow fast and get help to do so . . . and Joe Bergantino
.
. . who is running New England's first non-profit investigative
journalism
outfit.
So, if yo're ready to join us, go to http://www.newsout.org . . . find
the
link to registration . . . and let us know you're coming. After you
register, you or your guest can register using the "Guest" tab for only
an
additional five dollars.
If you have an idea for a breakout session, write us at
bdensmore@newenglandnews.org. And thanks to our co-sponsors, including
The Boston Foundation, the University of Massachusetts, the BU College
of
Communication and
