Heading to L.A. for Media Re:public Forum [1]

I'll be quiet for a few days because I'm off to Los Angeles for a forum organized by Media Re:public [2], a Berkman Center [3] project that examines the current and potential impact of participatory news media. The forum [4], which kicks off Thursday night and goes all day on Friday, will feature talks, panel discussions, and small group breakout sessions on a wide variety of topics and issues relating to participatory media, including "Parsing the Political Blogosphere," "Supporting the Emerging Media Ecology," "Finding Viable Models," and (the catchiest) "It's 2013: Do You Know Where Your News Is?" It should be great -- see the agenda [5] for a full list of topics, speakers, and panelists. In conjunction with the forum, the CMLP will be holding its first in-person Board of Advisors [6] meeting on Thursday afternoon. All in all, a busy but fascinating end to the week.

Registration [4] for the Media Re:public forum is still open, so drop by if you're interested in media (new or traditional, commercial or public) and happen to be in L.A. All are welcome -- journalists, academics, business-types, activists, anybody.

(Note: I am a fellow at the Berkman Center, and the CMLP is housed there, along with Media Re:public.)
