Please email your panel proposal to Co-Vice Chair Kirsten Johnson (johnsonka@etown.edu) as a Word attachment by October 15.
Past panels have focused on blogging discourse, credibility of citizen journalism practices, citizen contributions and politics, user collaborative activities, community conversations in hyperlocal media, newsroom projects, practicing civic and citizen journalism in a multicultural environment, and teaching civic and citizen journalism.
Panel proposals for 2011 may address, but are not limited to, the following broad themes:
1. Defining who citizen journalists are, and the roles they serve in their communities. Defining what is and is not citizen journalism.
2. Emerging models and best practices in teaching of civic/citizen journalism.
3. Media convergence and using new tools to facilitate citizen journalism.
4. Local/global practices and perceptions of civic/citizen journalism.
5. Research techniques used by civic/citizen journalism scholars. In general, address topics that are relevant to current discussions in journalism, politics, technology, democracy, or philosophy.
Panels addressing issues of cultural and racial diversity are encouraged.
Your panel proposal should mention the following components in order:
Type (i.e., PF&R, Teaching, Research), a tentative title, a possible moderator, the possible panelists (limit to three so we can work on linking with other interest groups and divisions), a brief description of the panel, possible co-sponsors (divisions or interest groups), and contact information. Also provide speaker demographic and funding estimates (see sample proposal). Selected proposals are compiled into a single document, with proposals from other divisions and interest groups, in order to be considered for co-sponsorship and scheduling. Many will later be revised or expanded as part of the joint planning process.
A sample proposal is available at http://www.has.vcu.edu/civic-journalism/Sample_Panel_Proposal.doc We look forward to your proposals!
