The Coffee House: Speed Topics

Wed., 7:45 p.m.-9 p.m.

Concepts for the American Society of News and Community Forums (ASNCF)

Most of Thursday will be devoted to breakout sessions called by participants during an open agenda-setting session first thing on Thursday. To see the agenda, six participant-experts will follow our after-dinner speaker with "speed topics."

If these "experts" have biases, they'll say so. Their role is to see conversations. Each will speak for two minutes about a key issue facing operators of local online news communities. Then all of our participants will be invited to form coffee-house style conversations in six corners of the room lead by our participant-experts on the topic they announced.

The six topics

  • Technology choices -- platforms, cost
      Lisa Williams, Placeblogger / H20Town
  • Advertising and sponsorships -- is it enough?
      Richard Anderson, VillageSoup.com
  • Citizen media and the law -- freedom and risk
      David Ardia, Berkman Center, Harvard Law School
  • Training bloggers, writers, volunteers
      TBA
  • Should I incorporate? As a profit or non-profit?
      TBA
  • What about alliances with other media and groups?
      Jeremy Iggers, TC Daily Planet
  • How to avoid burnout: Keeping the passion alive
      TBA
