Want to attend?

When China's recent earthquake hit, the first news coverage came via social update network Twitter. Now with the Beijing Olympics approaching, Citizen Journalism could revolutionize bottom-up coverage of this world event.

Come for a discussion on how to power citizen journalism in China through mobile messaging, Twitter and email. Promising strategies will be tested in real life on GroundReport.com and other platforms!
