	~~<br><br>~~
	We're inviting some of the best examples of local online news operations run/owned by citizen/journalists for a sharing of best practices. This is less an event to show these folks to the outside world and more an internal, sleeves-rolled-up working session for them to learn practical things from each other -- almost continuing education. These citizen journalism and new media entrepreneurs from Minnesota and around the country will share successes and failures, and collaborate to take the next steps to ensure quality storytelling in service to democracy.
	~~<br>~~
	~~<ul><li>We'll serve as an incubator / think-and-do tank for those who are considering starting their own civic engagement / citizen journalism projects in urban/rural Minnesota and nationally.~~
	~~<br><br>~~
	<li>We'll use MinnPost, Public Insight Journalism, TC Daily Planet, [[http://locallygrownnorthfield.org LocallyGrownNorthfield.org], Minnesota E-Democracy.org local issues forums, and other innovative Minnesota online journalism and community experiments and services as case studies, and ask their operators to share their solutions for sustaining growth. </ul>

	~~<h3>Who should attend</h3>~~

	~~<li>Active citizen journalists and placebloggers sharing best practices.~~
	~~<li>Potential local website operators looking for advice and launch support~~
	~~<li>News professionals seeking citizen collaborators~~
	~~<li>Technologists with "open source" or low-cost tools to share <p>~~
