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!
BCNI 2009 needs volunteers!
We need people to do two hours shifts in various roles. Benefits include a sweet “volunteer” button, and easy way to network, and wonderful Karma. Nothing too difficult, just help people check in, be around to answer questions, and help set up food. Interested? Sign up!
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!
Attendee Interview #4: Colleen Newvine of the AP
Who are you and what do you do?
I am a former reporter and editor now working on the business side of the news. I worked in the newsrooms of�a variety of publications, including the Alpena News, the Insider Business Journal and the Ann Arbor News, before getting my MBA at the University of Michigan. I joined the Associated Press in 2006, and I now serve as head of market research. My job is to help the AP stay in touch with what our current and potential customers want and need from us.
Why are you coming to BCNI Philly?
I am grateful to have been peer pressured into learning about social media and now I’m a�Facebook and Twitter addict.�But I know I still have a lot to learn about the available tools and about how to get the most value from them. I’m excited to hear from people who care about the future of news enough to give up a Saturday to talk about its future. Online tools give the media great opportunities to tell stories in different ways, to serve advertisers better than ever, to create a dialogue instead of a one-way stream, and I’m interested to hear the innovative ideas that come up.
If you decide to present, what would it be about?
I won’t presume to�be enough of an expert to present but I would love to be part of a conversation on how we make online news self supporting. I’m also really interested in how news organizations are using social media for marketing, not just as a reporting tool.�I worked as a clown when I was in high school, so I could also teach everyone how to make balloon animals.
Where can we find you online?
AP’s�Web site is www.ap.org. �You can find me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/cnewvine I only friend people on Facebook that I know in real life, so check me out there after we meet in Philly.
And finally, finish this sentence: What the news industry really needs is ___.
Hope. I heard someone explain once that when you’ve given up hope, there’s no motivation to try to save yourself.�Why would you pick up a bucket and start bailing�water out of�the Titanic when it’s clear it’s going down?�I think sometimes journalists fall prey to fascination with our industry’s challenges and we seem to take perverse satisfaction in writing our own obituary.
How about instead fixating on the incredible opportunity to use new tools to distribute news faster and cheaper, and on the public’s seemingly insatiable demand for news and information? Did you see the ComScore report that�the number of people who access news and information daily on the mobile Web more than doubled over the last year?
I’m not saying we ignore the significant challenges, but the news business has had to evolve to accommodate the arrival of radio, television, cable TV, the Internet and�mobile phones, and I think we need to consider this part of a continuing transformation. Like Winston Churchill said: �The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.�
SPJ regional conference will attend BCNI 2009
In the length of a few hours the amount of participants in BCNI Philly has doubled.
When BCNI was scheduled, we kept hearing people griping that there was already a journalism conference taking place in Center City, and many were unable to make both. Well, BCNI is pleased to announce that the SPJ regional conference, led by Phil Beck, will be moving their Saturday sessions to Annenberg Hall. BarCamp attendees will be able to attend SPJ sessions and vice versa.
This brings the anticipated attendance in the mid to high 200′s.� Have that presentation ready yet?
