NewBizNews HyperCamp Schedule

Posted on 28. Oct, 2009 by Peter Hauck in Hyperlocal, New News Organization, News Ecosystem, Revenue

We’re looking forward to the New Business Models for (Local) News HyperCamp, scheduled for Wednesday, November 11th.

The conference schedule is now available here and as a google doc. The day-long event will be held at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism — 219 West 40th Street, 3rd Floor, NYC. Coffee and registration begin at 9:00 AM and the morning program gets under way at 10:00 AM. We’ll break for lunch at Noon and start the HyperCamp workshops at 1:00 PM. We hope you’ll stay for cocktails and networking following the last session.

We’ve already received over 120 RSVPs from a great mix of people — hyperlocal bloggers, journalists, website owners, entrepreneurs, investors, publishers, technologists, media executives and more. We look forward to sharing experiences and best practices as we explore new business models for journalism. Most of the day’s events will be livestreamed and we’ll use the hashtag #newbiz. (Space is somewhat limited so if you’ve RSVP’d “yes” and are unable to attend, please contact David Cohn — [email protected]).

Please visit our website in the coming weeks for further HyperCamp updates. And take a look at the Project’s business models. We urge you to download and modify our spreadsheets by plugging in your own assumptions.

The CUNY Graduate School of Journalism is grateful to the Knight Foundation for funding our work on the New Business Models for News Project, which we presented in August at the Aspen Institute Forum on Communications and Society. We also thank the McCormick Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Carnegie Corporation for their support of this important work to sustain journalism.
