BarCamp NewsInnovation Portland is a regional offshoot of BarCamp NewsInnovation.
The idea is bring together 25 or more energetic, tech-savvy, open-minded individuals who embrace the chaos in the media industry because the ability to do really cool things still exist.
Our goal is to identify what some of those really cool things are, and then figure out how to do them. With focus on the keyword "DO". Read this post on thoughts about how to reinvigorate the NewsInnovation crowd.
Everyone may participate, especially people outside of the news industry who love to consume news and information and are great thinkers and innovators. We're looking for: journalism students, web developers, freelance journalists, local beat reporters, technologists, editors, entrepreneurs, journalism professors, and news consumers with ideas for the future of news.
So how do we move toward real solutions?
