PCIJ (website, blog) will hold a conference on blogging this Saturday, October 22, 2005:
As a powerful medium for free expression, blogging, has been luring
millions of people around the world. In the U.S. and elsewhere, it is
spawning a new kind of journalism, one that blog pioneer Dan Gillmor
calls ‘grassroots journalism.” In the Philippines, the mainstream
media, however, have been rather slow in seizing the potential of blogs
in journalism despite its many features that could help journalists do
their work more efficiently in a highly technology-mediated world. The
traditional media are only belatedly realizing the inherent benefits of
its ease of use and immediacy, the ubiquity of links, and access to a
borderless audience.
PCIJ’s blog, Inside PCIJ, is hailed to be among one of the most active in discussing socio-political matters in the Philippines today. Check out their blog to learn more and for sign-up contact details.
