This morning the leadership of Cision and I announced a new partnership around #journchat. I want to let chat participants know a few things: 1) I will remain as the chat moderator; 2) The format will remain the same (although we’ll experiment with other platforms like LiveFyre); 3) Ownership over question selection, chat themes [...]

Share Play nice. This is probably one of the keys in the book “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten,” but I haven’t read it. It’s a simple statement. In fact, it’s one of the rules I share each week as #journchat begins. It’s meant as a “gentle” reminder that we [...]

The first question (Q1) during Monday night’s #journchat was “What should a hyperlocal news site include/not include? What advice do you have?” With 200+ weekly participants there are many views shared from journalists, bloggers and public relations professionals (and students).
Here’s their take on what will make a successful hyperlocal newsroom. First, let me share my [...]

It’s Monday night which means it’s #journchat. Tonight’s chat had approximately 168 professionals (with more than 1,000 tweets) who participated. A one-question poll tonight (taken by 90 of the participants) showed the following breakdown: 26 journalists, 38 PRs, 21 bloggers, 18 marketing professionals among others. While we asked nine questions during the chat, I’ve highlighted [...]

In November 2009, we’ll celebrate our one-year anniversary of #journchat. I can hardly believe it. This past year we’ve had featured guests Steve Brusk, CNN national assignment editor, Richard Laermer, Bad Pitch Blog, Adam Ostrow, editor of Mashable and tonight Jen Preston, social media editor at the New York Times. Thanks to all for joining [...]

This past Monday was a surreal experience for me. My first day as a new business owner included sitting at the Chicago Tribune and watching #journchat come to life. Listening to people discuss and debate questions was intense and fulfilling. It was overwhelming (in a good way) as I attempted to balance seven live events, [...]

Bring. It. On. 
Just finished up the 10th week with #journchat as the TOP TRENDING topic on Twitter. Whew! It’s been a whirlwind. While it’s the highlight of my week to moderate our lovely chat, I’d like to bring a new perspective on a regular basis. 
This is a chat about journalism and new media between journalists, [...]

[I borrowed this post from my other blog, journchat.]
#journchat originated via the microblogging site, Twitter. I believe there is a need in this evolving world of media and public relations for some major dialogue between those who make it happen.
The mission of #journchat is to keep an ongoing, open dialogue between journalists, bloggers and public [...]
