What will I learn?

Participatory journalism. Crowdsourcing. Pro-am. Whatever you call it, you're probably debating how to create or expand user content for your organization.

Explore the benefits (and drawbacks) of enlisting volunteers or semi-professionals to cover the stories your professional team can't. Learn how to maximize impact and create a system that makes sense for your newsroom.

• Collaborating With Users
• What the Fifth Estate Can Do – and Can They Do It for You?
• Balancing Community Journalism and Citizen Participation

This package gives you access to all three sessions from our live broadcast, originally offered on May 6, 2010. The broadcast was part of a two-day conference at The Poynter Institute in May 2010.
