This is a chance for you to get to know who else is coming, what they are working on, hoping for, experienced in, thirsty for. This conference is about next steps — this is a guide in that endeavor. If you see someone you are interested in speaking with at the summit — leave them a comment.

Your work in networked/citizen/collaborative journalism.
I publish Coastsider, a news and community site for coastal San Mateo County — a community of 30,000 people, 30 minutes from San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Although I helped build Mercury Center and CNET News.com, I had never practiced journalism before I started Coastsider in 2004. During the daylight hours, I cover online media and publishing, especially the news business, for JupiterResearch.

Your work in networked/citizen/collaborative journalism.
As CEO and co-founder of BlogTalkRadio, Bob Charish and I have created a platform that is currently allowing over 3,000 hosts to broadcast live call in shows online. This social broadcasting platform allows anyone to have a voice and say they’re peace. You don’t have to be Rush Limbaugh to be a host on BlogTalkRadio—you just need a phone and a vision, and you get to be a citizen journalist when you speak what’s on your mind.

James Kotecki – Video Blogger, The Politico
Posted on 05. Oct, 2007 by David Cohn.
Your work in networked/citizen/collaborative journalism.
I started in January 2007 making YouTube videos in my Georgetown dorm room with a $60 webcam and an aging Dell laptop. I rose to quasi-prominence by critiquing how the 2008 Presidential candidates were using YouTube. After getting a lot of mainstream coverage for this, I’ve since graduated, interviewed seven Presidential candidates, and covered the CNN/YouTube Democratic Debate and the Iowa Straw Poll. As of this week, I’ve been officially hired by Politico.com to video blog for them full-time. I’m very excited, because now I finally have a full-time job doing what I love – making goofy videos about politics and putting them online.

Your work in networked/citizen/collaborative journalism.
I’ve spent the last year and a half bootstrapping Faneuil Media, an online news startup. Initially, my partner Theo Burry and I focused on creating content for news sites using public data and open applications like Google Maps. Last year we broadened our scope with Atlas, a mapping tool that simplified map and data work for news sites.
