Journalism That Matters session notes have used a variety of approaches over the years. (Here is the events archive <https://journalismthatmatters.org/events/>.)
Our 2020 online OS, Journalism Education that Matters <https://journalismthatmatters.org/journalismeducation2020/>, used a single Google Doc that we then copied into WordPress to share. Most recently, the in-person gatherings have used WordPress. By having participants post in WordPress, notes generally go up in real time. That said, I like having flip charts in the spaces. Sometimes people take pictures of them, sometimes they transcribe them. They’re more searchable when transcribed. But, to a point Birgitt made earlier, it keeps the notes transparent and people present. Still, given many journalists are natural note takers, someone in the group is likely on a computer anyway. Here’s an example of session notes <https://journalismthatmatters.org/experienceengagementsessionnotes> from Experience Engagement <https://journalismthatmatters.org/experienceengagement/>. Instructions for how to post that includes a suggestion of what to post (Session Host, Reporter (optional), Participants, Your notes) are in the right-hand column. We’re doing an in-person conference in August and I haven’t decided what approach to use yet.
