As part of corps member Meaghan LaSala’s outreach strategy in the town of Bangor, Maine, she has attended community meetings, interviewed community members and produced audio features to air at their local community radio station, WERU. These new audio features not only spread awareness of WERU to the Bangor area but also demonstrate to Bangor residents the power of local, community radio. The attached clip aired on the show RadioActive, a local environmental, social justice public affairs show.

We’re assembling another master cast (see our group in NYC) of innovators, developers and visionaries — we call them Davincis — for hands-on guidance, creative inspiration and how-to maps for apps on the iPad and the wave of mobile, high-concept, high-touch personal computers. We’ll demonstrate how first-movers create advantage. We’ll show how the app-savvy can expand engagement. We’ll flash forward to the shiny new things that will make your eyes pop in the exciting years to come. But mostly we’ll help you figure out what to do now, as well as in your flash-forward future.

Journalism Innovations III

Now in its 3rd year, the conference, produced by Independent Arts & Media, The University of San Francisco, G.W. Williams Center for Independent Journalism and the Society for Professional Journalists, brings together some of the brightest minds and most innovative projects to network and share skills and ideas.

Last year’s conference drew over 300 attendees, and this year we’re expecting twice as many as the conference expands to include SPJ’s Western Regional journalism conference. There’s a lot of excitement in the industry at the moment and conversations around new business models, net neutrality, community engagement and multimedia training are already buzzing. We’re anticipating a great turnout and several enlightening sessions.

We are accepting proposals for session ideas and sponsorships now and will be sending out regular updates across a variety of mediums over the next few months. Please let us know how you would like to participate.
