SPJ to sponsor BCNI 2010
Coming in at the 11th hour, the Society of Professional Journalists has announced that they will be lending support to BarCamp on Saturday.
We thank SPJ for its help this year (and last)!
WhoWhatNow our latest sponsor, join them!
We’re pleased to announce that WhoWhatNow has agree to sponsor BCNI’s breakfast!
The project, by University of Missouri professor and Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Jim MacMillan, aims to be a wire service for citizen journalism. MacMillan says he wants to take crowd-sourced news to the next level and find a way to reward independent journalists. For more details visit WhoWhatNow.com.
We thank Jim for his support, but BCNI is still looking for a few more sponsors to sponsor Lunch and our after party. For details check our sponsorship page or email Sean Blanda.
Want to sponsor the BCNI afterparty at the Draught Horse?
While last year’s afterparty had us all treking to old city, this year BCNI aims to make your post-BarCamp life easier.
BCNI 2010′s afterparty will take place immediately after the event at Temple’s very own Draught Horse, a nine minute walk from the event.
The afterparty will undoubtedly be amazing, but we’re looking for a sponsor to chip in to make the event extra special (read: open bar). For under $1000, Draught Horse is willing to provide at least two hours of free drafts and well drinks to all attendees.
If you are interested in sponsoring the afterparty (or BCNI) contact organizer Sean Blanda.
CUNY is BCNI 2009 newest sponsor!
The CUNY graduate school of Journalism has just signed up to be the latest sponsor of BCNI. The grad school at CUNY is a three semester program located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. As one look at their faculty list can tell you, the grad program is considered one of the best in the nation.
Take a peak at the sidebar to see our other sponsors. BCNI is in great hands!
Thanks to our newest sponsors: Publish2 and the Society of Environmental Journalists
It is with great excitement that BCNI announces its two newest sponsors: Publish2 and the Society of Environmental Journalists.
The Society of Environmental Journalists is dedicated to improving environmental reporting. From their site:
SEJ programs are designed to build a stronger, better-educated, and more closely connected network of professional journalists and editors who cover the environment and environment-related issues. SEJ’s primary goal is to advance public understanding of critically important environmental issues through more and better environmental journalism.
Publish2 powers link journalism on the Web offering tools to help reporters aggregate content on the Web. Publish2 is used in papers like the Chicago Tribune the Washington City Paper and dozens of others.
If you would like to sponsor BCNI, there is still time!
National Mechanics to host BCNI Philly 2009 afterparty
After we’re all done BarCamp’ing and NewsInnovating, National Mechanics has been kind enough to host the BCNI Philly afterparty.
The bar and restaurant, located in Old City blocks from Independence Hall (and Independant’s Hall), is a local favorite among the tech community and anyone else with taste buds. The bar is easily accessible through public transit, and is smack in the middle of Philadelphia’s tourism and nightlife attractions. Oh, and did we mention their wonderful food and a selection of beverages that would make Ben Franklin proud?
Party starts at 7 p.m. (an hour after the last session closes).
If innovating the news industry isn’t enough reason to sponsor BCNI, we’ll be taking all sponsor money left over and contributing it to the bar tab for all to enjoy.
Hope to see you there!
Sponsor BCNI 2009!
BCNI Philly is, and will always remain, a free event. However, the success of the event depends on dozens of volunteers, the media community and the generosity of our sponsors.
On that note, we are proud to announce that Reportingon.com is the third sponsor of BCNI Philly. ReportingOn.com is the baby of Ryan Sholin and one of the winners of the Knight News Challenge. ReportingOn serves as a back channel for journalists to share what they are reporting on so they can collaborate, discover and communicate with one another.
We thank Ryan and ReportingOn for their support, but BCNI is in need of a few more sponsors. Head on over to our sponsorship page for documents and contact information. In a nutshell we need some help supplying breakfast, various office supplies, gear for volunteers and guests and help with an after party.
Email sponsors@bcniphilly.com if you or your company is interested in helping make BCNI Philly rock.
