There are very few slots left for this Thursday’s See Jane Write Birmingham panel on blogging and community journalism at Innovation Depot. It’s a topic of particular interest to us as 2013 begins.
The panel will look talk about whether or not community news will flourish as we move forward and how bloggers can use their sites to cover issues that may not be getting the exposure they deserve. It will include Staci Brown Brooks, Alabama Media Group/The Birmingham News; Emily Lowrey, Magic City Post; Erin Shaw Street, Southern Living magazine; and André Natta, The Terminal. Edward T. Bowser, community engagement specialist for the Birmingham Hub of Alabama Media Group,will moderate.
For those not familiar with See Jane Write Birmingham, Javacia Harris Bowser started the “organization for women writers and bloggers in the Birmingham area” in March 2011. It now boasts an email list of at least 200. Additional plans for this year include Tweets & Sweets, a tweet-up and birthday party for Bowser that will serve as a fundraiser for the organization next month.
