Starting in 2006, I'll be putting together a nonprofit Center for
Citizen Media. The goals are to study, encourage and help enable the
emergent grassroots media sphere, with a major focus on citizen
journalism.
I'm thrilled and honored that the center will be affiliated with two
superb universities in a bi-coastal partnership.
* Here on the Pacific Rim, where I live, the center will
collaborate with the University of California, Berkeley's Graduate
School of Journalism. As an I.F. Stone Teaching Fellow, I'll do a
class next fall, and my principal physical office will be at Berkeley
as well.
* Our Atlantic-facing partner is the Berkman Center for Internet
Society at Harvard University Law School, where I'll be a Research
Fellow. I'll visit there regularly -- at least once a month -- to work
with other fellows, faculty and students.
We also plan to sponsor regular gatherings at both locations (and, I
hope, elsewhere in my travels) for people interested in citizen
journalism.
Why do this? We need a thriving media and journalism ecosystem. We
need what big institutions do so well, but we also need the bottom-up
-- or, more accurately, edge-in -- knowledge and ideas of what I've
called the former audience that has become a vital part of the
system. I'm also anxious to see that it's done honorably and in a way
that helps foster a truly informed citizenry. I think I can help.
This is a nonpartisan initative. I aim to help anyone, regardless of
political views, who has a constructive project and who is interested
in expanding the reach of citizen media in an principled way.
The center will live virtually at citmedia.org. I'll be posting more
details there in the relatively near future.
