This half-day forum will explore the quickly expanding world of citizen journalism: how technology is fueling its growth, and how that growth is changing the way we see our world, enact change, and disseminate the news. People in communities around the world are taking the initiative to share stories that are left untold by the mainstream media.

The Citizen Journalism Forum will include seminars on:

• How Cambridge residents are filling the void in local news in our city;
• The legal considerations facing citizen journalists; and
• The tools and technologies being used by citizen journalists in Cambridge and beyond.

Exhibitors will be on hand with the latest tools and technologies available for community reporters, and attendees will learn how to tap into local news outlets as well as how to get started reporting on local news.

This forum is a must for both consumers and creators of local news content; journalists and media professionals; independent and collaborative website owners; legal professionals; and everyone who values local information, civic participation, and social justice.

9:45 am- 10:45 am: Oases in the News Desert
Cambridge, which has no daily newspaper nor local commercial radio and television, is a news desert. But even a desert has oases. Meet the journalists who support the islands of information that the information thirsty turn to for sustenance. We'll talk about what it's like to cover Cambridge, the challenges and the rewards, and what happens to a city without a critical mass of press coverage.

11 am -12 pm: Newsgathering and the Law: Hot Topics for Citizen Journalists in Massachusetts
Regardless of whether you are reporting on a City Council meeting or a national crisis, your ability as a journalist to report the news depends on your ability to gather information. State and federal laws provide tools and protections on which reporters can rely in collecting the facts on which their reporting is based -- enhancing access to government records, shielding from disclosure certain communications between journalists and their sources, and ensuring that journalists can record the acts of public officials in public places. But, these tools and protections are subject to limitations that can frustrate newsgatherers and impede their ability to practice their craft. This session will explore some of the important protections available to citizen journalists and others in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the hurdles that reporters face as they engage in newsgathering activities.

Joe Bergantino
Director, New England Center for Investigative Reporting

Laura Amico will discuss her work with Homicide Watch-- a community-driven reporting project that covers every murder in the District of Columbia.

Dan Kennedy, Professor of Journalism at Northeastern and author of "Wired City: Reimagining Journalism and Civic Life in the Post-Newspaper Age" will moderate a discussion among some of the non-traditional journalists who jumped to cover unfolding events.

In Memory of Karen Klinger

NeighborMedia correspondent and community activist Karen Klinger died in December after a six-month battle with cancer. Karen was in the original group of NeighborMedia journalists chosen in 2007. She focused on her neighborhood, Porter Square, particularly on issues related to development, safety and cleanliness. The community looked to her to cover vital issues in Cambridge. Karen was one of very few professional journalists in NeighborMedia, and brought a fierce commitment to the journalistic principles that guided her career. Her efforts to ensure journalistic integrity have had a profound impact on the structure of the NeighborMedia program.

If you enjoy working on a team, getting random assignments, getting up early, staying up late, and even like some pressure, the come participate in this fun event. Our 14, 15, and 20 hour marathons were great successes, and this marathon will be even better. This is how the day will work:

• Participating teams should include at least one CCTV member in order to use CCTV's equipment. It is best that each member have worked on a production through CCTV, either in classes or with other members on contracted productions.
• Teams will have only 25 consecutive hours to produce a finished program. The production begins sharply at 11AM on April 27, 2013, for an introduction meeting and planning sessions. The deadline for finishing the program is 1PM on April 28, the public screening of the finished programs will take place at 6:00 PM in the CCTV studio and live on television.
• Teams will be assigned a few random production criteria to include in the final pieces, and beyond this teams will have full full creative control to design, plan, shoot and edit.
• Teams must produce a finished piece with a maximum running time of 5 minutes. In fact, teams will be provided with only one unit of recording media to shoot their pieces.
• Equipment will be provided by CCTV as well as a “Production Marathon Survival Kit,” including subway tokens, snacks, water, and CCTV shirts. Please feel free to use any resources or connections of your own to make your team’s production a success.
• CCTV staff will be present at the station to facilitate all aspects of the marathon including creative consultation, technical advice, troubleshooting, mediation, and moral support when the going gets tough.

CCTV is building teams of producers with an even distribution of camera, edit, and on-screen skills to help production go smoothly, so whether you are an individual or a group you can sign up and expect to have a lot of fun. If you would like to get involved and participate in the 25 Hour Production Marathon, please contact Sean Effel at 617-661-6900 x11.

CCTV is pleased to be working with Saul Tannenbaum, NeighborMedia correspondent and creator of Cambridge Happenings, to offer 'Oases in the News Desert'-- a seminar focused on the local news outlets that exist in Cambridge. The session will take place during Filling the News Gap in Cambridge and Beyond: Citizen Journalism and the Grassroots Media-- a forum at the Cambridge Public Library on May 4 from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm.

Saul Tannenbaum will moderate the seminar; Joanna Kao of The Tech, Marc Levy of Cambridge Day, and Robert Winters of Cambridge Civic Journal will be panelists. The journalists will discuss what it's like to cover Cambridge, the challenges and the rewards, and what happens to a city without a critical mass of press coverage.

CCTV is pleased to be collaborating with The Berkman Center's Digital Media Law Project and Cyberlaw Clinic, along with MIT's Center for Civic Media, to offer a half-day forum entitled "Filling the News Gap in Cambridge and Beyond: Citizen Journalism and Grassroots Media" at the Cambridge Public Library on May 4th.

The Digital Media Law Project and the Cyberlaw Clinic will participate in a workshop addressing legal issues facing those who gather news. State and federal laws provide tools and protections on which reporters can rely in collecting the facts on which their reporting is based -- enhancing access to government records, shielding from disclosure certain communications between journalists and their sources, and ensuring that journalists can record the acts of public officials in public places. But, these tools and protections are subject to limitations that can frustrate newsgatherers and impede their ability to practice their craft. The session will explore some of the important protections available to citizen journalists and others in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the hurdles that reporters face as they engage in newsgathering activities.
