A conversation of how to use multimedia in creating better citizen journalism.

1. Define Multimedia: text, audio, graphics, animation, video, and interactivity

2. Define Citizen Journalism

3. Define Better

4. How is multimedia now being used?

What value will you add? Instead of just doubling your work on a story by reading a written report into a microphone? What additional value can audio and video add to a report?

Reports are not static written in stone objects anymore. They are now living and breathing things.

5. How to use multimedia in creating better citizen journalism?

BEFORE, DURING and AFTER

COLLABORATION How can citizen journalists take advantage of 'Networked Journalism' to tell stories?

FEEDBACK, UPDATES and ANALYSIS How can we take advantage of audio and video to engage consumers of media, and encourage them to become participants. Are we stuck with 1% being creators and only 10% being contributors? The story grows and lives on. How can we best take advantage of the knowledge of the crowds?
