Midtown Wednesdays

A Conversation with NEO Leaders in Citizen Journalism

Yesterday's Midtown Wednesday forum hosted Northeast Ohio leaders in citizen journalism exchanging ideas and insights about how open source communications change economic markets. The panel talked about their role in a shifting regional landscape of opportunity, innovation and entrepreneurship.

The forum engaged an excellent group of bloggers and traditional media, and business people from library, creative industries, finances, technology, academia, government and publishing. The audience concluded the open source publishing platforms are a very important voice in economic development and the more voices there are the better.

The group suggested the model of the bloggers be replicated and become a model for innovating regions in support of supporting a free, democratic process.

Detailed notes of the conversation are posted here.
