Interactive Journalism Summit:
When Consumers Become Creators |
Sponsored by the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation

Introduction
By Jan Schaffer, J-Lab Executive Director
"The
bottom line is that citizens are both the consumers and the creators
of the content."
Mary
Lou Fulton
VP
of Audience Development, The Bakersfield Californian
"I'm
concerned that what is a very powerful idea won't take root because
of our industry's inexperience and impatience with
new things."

"We're
moving from the picture of a journalist as a writer and reporter to the
picture of the journalist as the editor and guide."

Wiseman
Project Manager, Loudoun Forward
"People
don't become experts until it affects them and you get that 'not in my
backyard' reaction. And I submit that, in Loudoun, if you have a backyard,
something is eventually going to happen there."
