3-315 Break

315-430 Hall time – action time
All participants gather in groups around similar interests to learn more,
concoct and conspire on new projects, do business, figure out what’s next
– and do it. This is the point of the day: action.
We ask that you share your next steps and new projects with the group.
In each room, a CUNY Student Leader (a student in the entrepreneurial
journalism course) will record these projects. So make sure to let them
know what you’re doing. The Networked Journalism Summit will
followup on these projects and report back to all participants.
We will have rooms for 10 such gatherings; participants may hit as many
as they need to make the right connections. In each room, there will also
be participants helping to lead conversation. Call them Dr. Phils.
We will also invite you to suggest sessions on a board at the Times.
We will announce all sessions and locations at lunch. The starting list:
* Local. Dr. Phil: Dwight Silverman, Houston Chronicle – Room: 3rd floor foyer by elevators & cafe
* Political/national media. Dr. Phil: Ellen Miller, Sunlight Foundation – Room 430
* Video, audio, etc. Dr. Phil: Andy Carvin of NPR – Room 442
