Interessanter Aktikel bei Newsweek über die südkoreanische news-Seite ohmynews.com die nach dem Prinzip "every citizen is a reporter" funktioniert:

Critics from traditional news publishers in Korea charge that OhmyNews confuses message board posting with news, and that getting to the truth in any story requires painstaking reporting and editing by trained professionals. But OhmyNews’s audience—primarily in their 20s and 30s—may not agree. When some Yonsei University students recently met with a visiting reporter to discuss the future of news, one psychology major put it simply: “How can you ever get truth from one source? The Internet allows us to check multiple sources, to explore message-board postings, to debate issues with others—that is the only way to find truth. And besides, what good is information if you can’t react to it?” “We’re not stupid,” added a business student. “We know that there is a difference between a message board, a traditional journal and OhmyNews. But by putting them together, our understanding is better. We can piece together truth.”

Andrea Frantz hat eine "Public Journalism Education Group" ins Leben gerufen:

The Public Journalism Education group provides a forum for journalism educators and practitioners with an interest in civic or public journalism.

The discussions will primarily focus on issues and challenges facing journalism educators as they incorporate public journalism assignments and/or classes into existing curricula, brainstorming for solutions to such challenges, how journalism schools respond to the changing technological and social needs reflecting in the public journalism movement, and developing a research agenda for the immediate future.

This discussion group will work as an extension of the Public Journalism Education subcommittee initiated by the Civic Journalism Interest Group of AEJMC.

Man darf gespannt sein! :-) Hier gibt's die Details bei Yahoo Groups: publicjournalismeducators
