This half-day forum will explore the quickly expanding world of citizen journalism: how technology is fueling its growth, and how that growth is changing the way we see our world, enact change, and disseminate the news. People in communities around the world are taking the initiative to share stories that are left untold by the mainstream media.
The Citizen Journalism Forum will include seminars on:
How Cambridge residents are filling the void in local news in our city;
The legal considerations facing citizen journalists; and
The tools and technologies being used by citizen journalists in Cambridge and beyond.
Exhibitors will be on hand with the latest tools and technologies available for community reporters, and attendees will learn how to tap into local news outlets as well as how to get started reporting on local news.
This forum is a must for both consumers and creators of local news content; journalists and media professionals; independent and collaborative website owners; legal professionals; and everyone who values local information, civic participation, and social justice.

9 am - 9:30 am:

CCTV is please to be collaborating with the Berkman Center's Digital Media Law Project and Cyberlaw Clinic and MIT's Center for Civic Media to offer "Filling the News Gap in Cambridge and Beyond: Citizen Journalism and Grassroots Media," in memory of Karen Klinger.
NeighborMedia correspondent and community activist Karen Klinger died in December after a six-month battle with cancer. Karen was in the original group of NeighborMedia journalists chosen in 2007. She focused on her neighborhood, Porter Square- particularly on issues related to development, safety and cleanliness. The community looked to her to cover vital issues in Cambridge. Karen was one of very few professional journalists in NeighborMedia, and brought a fierce commitment to the journalistic principles that guided her career. Her efforts to ensure journalistic integrity have had a profound impact on the structure of the NeighborMedia program.
The May 4th Forum will explore the quickly expanding world of citizen journalism: how technology is fueling its growth, and how that growth is changing the way we see our world, enact change, and disseminate the news For more information or to register, visit www....
