Dan Gillmor on We Media - my rough notes

tools perfect for what nptech is doing
establish media can co-opt but can't control
we can all participate
production, access and distribution have all been democratised
read/write web
not just blogs
proxy world for audio, video,
grassroots media is the norm not the exception
journalism has been a lecture
moving to something like a conversation
listen
secrets harder to keep
whether you ask people or not they will do it
citizen witness with a camera is not new i.e. 1 guy with camera at JFK
what's different today is there'd be 1000s of people not 1 guy and they are all connected to networks
community voting and rating is a start
Center for Citizen Media
transparency will become much more a part of journalism
if you have an agenda, say so!
