The most recent one was the Cossette Convergence panel <a href="http://hummingbird604.com/2009/05/11/journalist-20-panel-liveblog-convergence-09-cvg09/" rel="nofollow">'Journalist 2.0'</a>.

Mon, 11 May 2009 00:09:26 +0000 http://www.niemanlab.org/?p=4544#comment-14768 Great article. I started using coveritlive about two months ago at town meetings. The board of selectmen got excited when a resident asked them a question through my live event. They said they felt the citizens are more engaged. I'm waiting for the next big court case to blog live. We will be using coveritlive for election coverage in Holyoke, Mass., in Nov. 2010. Combined with wordpress, this is a great tool. It cuts my writing time in half for the next day deadline on the actual story. The other reporters, still with notebooks, still scratch their heads and think I'm crazy. Oh well, welcome to the 21st century. Great article.

Crowd sourcing is definitely the wave of the present in journalism. Though it's not w/o its flaws, it represents the flattening we've seen in communication & access to both providing/obtaining information. Major news corps are using citizen journalism in ways we've never seen before in order to "be" on the front lines before they can actually BE on the front lines. To me, it's pretty freaking cool that Anderson Cooper is Re-tweeting news from a previously no-name follower in Mumbai. I think that's journalism at its best. Timely. Concise. Relevant. Real. The caution is that quality is hard to control as the flurry of tweets comes forth at rapid speed, but it's here and its happening and people like it--they want more of it because they want to be there on some level. And I think that's what has changed. We no longer want to simply know the news, we want to experience it & be a part of it. Bethany Waggoner (@lilgirlbigvoice) Agree to agree.

Just goes to show that good journalism is still all about good gatekeepers pushing the right buttons to direct the conversation and ensure the quality of the information.
