PubCamp Boston 2010 Post #1

I'm attending PublicMedia Camp 2010 along with CCTV staff members and sister/fellow Neighbormedia correspondents. This all-day session, taking place at WGBH Boston, is an "un-conference," at which all attendees actively contribute to the agenda.

As described by the sponsors, "We think Boston's pubmedia presence should draw upon its resources and become a leader in media innovation. By throwing open the doors of the imposing new WGBH station for one day, we want writers, producers, designers, hackers, developers, community leaders and long-time media makers to bring in talent and leave with work to do. We want to increase the new media reporting we see growing throughout public media. We expect public media staffers to form new working relationships with guests who can inform their stories on local and national levels. We expect guests to leave having a new sense of access to their local public media stations. We expect to have new seedlings of ideas to incubate in our local news and public media stations, with the help of new friends. We expect the people of Boston to know 'something happened' at 1 Guest Street on August 21 that changed how their media stations work together."

The day is beginning with each person BRIEFLY introducing and proposing a session, if they wish to host one. More to come as the day progresses...

Thanks for the play-by-play, SB!
