<New Pamphleteers/New Reporters was one of the first national gatherings for local, online citizen journalists and entrepreneurs, sometimes called "placebloggers." Designed for existing and prospective journalists and entrepreneurs, some 95 participants organized workshops on the legal, business, journalistic, marketing, advertising and social aspects of starting and running a local online news and commerce community. New Pamphleteers was timed and located to coincide with the National Conference on Media Reform.


The Minnesota Journalism Center at the University of Minnesota, the Media Giraffe Project at the University of Massachusetts, the Minnesota News Council, MinnPost.com, Twin Cities Daily Planet, Minnesota Public/American Public Radio, Placeblogger.com, the Citizen Media Law Project at the Berkman Center of Harvard Law School and the Center for Citizen Media at Arizona State University helped organize this national "placebloggers" convention. Funding sponsors included The Blandin Foundation, the C.S. Mott Foundation and the Park Foundation.


Key objectives:

  • Share best practices for community, business and social success of rural and neighborhood web civic/news initiatives
  • Learn about available tools, networks, software and partnerships
  • Understand and build relationships with legacy media
  • Consider forming national business/professional/advertising collaborative

    WHY NOW?

    Part pamphleteers, part reporters and part entrepreneurs, America's new online citizen journalists are inventing a new business and a new passion -- the business of building local, literate, digital domains on the web where community and commerce flourish. But there been only infrequent efforts -- and little structure -- to share best practices.
