Fund My Media

Thursday, Oct. 1, 2009 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  |  ONA Pre-Conference Workshop, San Francisco, Calif.

Funded by the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation.

The digital streets of America are rife with journalists looking to practice their craft and their passion outside the structures of a traditional, brand-name newsroom. This daylong workshop will be full of practical advice -- and cautionary tales -- for those thinking about striking out on their own. Covered will be starting a site from scratch, looking for funding, making the choice about nonprofit or ad-driven models and how to define success.

A big thank you to Amy Gahran for live-blogging the event. You can read about each speaker and what they had to say here: Fund My Media Startup: Index to Session Transcripts.
