Here's how the organisers are framing the debate:
"Over the last couple of years traditional media has tried to formulate an answer to this development in finding a balance between print - and online information, in keeping track with the newest technological trends to present their information and in figuring out how to integrate citizen journalism within their (online) information channels. What are workable/feasible models for the future?
In what way technological developments will influence the way we deal with news and information. Will they empower us more, will new constraints appear and will the old once be sorted in time? Is there a possible role for guides/filters and who would these filters be (newspapers, well known bloggers ... ? And in line with the later, is there a possible role for guides/curators guiding non-expert users through the information in an open way build on trust and reputation? What are the possible ways forward for mainstream media in working with citizen journalists?"
Having met Dan and several of the other participants previously, I'm looking forward to a thoughtful, challenging and wide ranging debate.
