| | <h3>The "Rockwell Reboot" event scheduled for Sept. 11-13 has been postponed. |
|
| |
|
| The ideas for "Rebooting Rockwell's America: News, Art and Community" germinated about two years ago, as [http://newshare.typepad.com/about.html Bill Densmore], a researcher on journalism's future, and David Scribner, a writer former editor of <i>The Berkshire Eagle</i> shared a idea: What would happen if a trained reporter rode a circuit of coffee shops and cafes within the Berkshires, meeting with citizens on a regular schedule, convening public discussions using the latest WiFi and multimedia mobile reporting technologies? | | The core ideas we want to examine: Exploring the relationship among civic news, physical and virtual communities . . . and the |
| | convergence of art with civic, participatory media . . . remain important and timely and we will be looking at ways we can collectively address them in the future. |
|
| |
|
| Then earlier this year, Norman Rockwell Museum Director Laurie Norton Moffatt noted the speed and effectiveness of web and email technologies as she and fellow residents of Stockbridge, Mass., rallied support and meeting attendance to retain funding for arts and cultural education in local public schools. What could happen, Moffatt asked, if cultural institutions and communities worked together to sustain and morph community journalism using such technologies?
| | If you are interested in these ideas, please email jtm@mediagiraffe.org and we will put you on our mailing list for updates. |

|
| The result is this symposium.
