Help Wanted: WeMedia Correspondents
WeMedia.com is the new home for the We Media conference, awards and community – and for news, analysis and community-organizing around the global We Media movement. We’re seeking to build a corps of correspondents and editors to provide reports, links and analysis on innovations and current events in media and communications around the world. Correspondents contribute as often as possible to the WeMedia blog. Editors help recruit and organize teams of correspondents. We’re especially eager to add correspondents in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa. Correspondents may specialize on reporting on regional news and developments, or on subjects (such as censorship, technology or social entrepreneurship) that ignore geography. More about WeMedia.com here. If you’re interested in contributing as a correspondent or editor, please send an email with biographical and professional background and sample links to your writing to: info at wemedia dot com. Subject: Correspondents.
I think you are doing a very good job indeed. But it think it important to realize that as long as your activities are limited within the scope of professional journalism the bulk of people you target to serve will not benefit much from your reports. It think it advisable to develop your activities beyond the very limits of corporatism and find out that anyone should have his say about the world environmental social and political issues and you should allow him to do it in an efficient way.
Thanks, appreciate the feedback. If you’re interested in writing on those topics, or know someone who is, drop us a line.
Don’t worry, our activities aren’t limited to the domain of professional journalism. We’ve been working hard for many years to bridge different sectors – or, really, to demolish some of the walls that separate them. We try to bring people and ideas together, and from that incubate shared learning and encourage new alliances, new projects and new models for producing and distributing knowledge in the connected culture. We’ve been looking closely at the growing role of activists, non-profit organizations and NGOs – and anticipate their role will continue to expand.
Here are some examples from that thread of our work:
The Future of Good is Way Cool
