The next two months are just swarming with media conferences, and we’re hoping to catch up with readers of this blog at at least one of them. Here’s a quick rundown of which of us will be where:
- International Communication Association Conference, Montreal, May 22-26: Jessica will be heading up a preconference and a Sunday panel on redefining “public media”
- National Conference for Media Reform, June 5-8, Minneapolis: Jessica and Tracy will be presenting together at the academic preconference on the topic “Independent Media: New Impact Measurements.” Then, on Friday, Tracy will be moderating a panel called “How Independent Media Creates Change,” and Jessica will be moderating a panel called “New Directions in Public Media.” (I also heard a rumor about a party—details?)
- Beyond Broadcast: Mapping Public Media, DC, June 17: Jessica’s planning this one, and Tracy will be there, and so should you! It’s a great chance to make the case for how public media should evolve to better serve citizens in the Web 2.0 era. Register today.
- Personal Democracy Forum, New York, June 23-24: Join Tracy at this star-studded extravaganza of Web 2.0 political strategists
Whew!
