This weekend's Nieman foundation conference at Harvard University featured 12 college newspapers from throughout the Northeast region. Harvard, Yale, BC, BU, Cornell, Columbia and UMass Amherst were represented amongst others.
The conference featured a number of prominent journalists representing all forms of media from revered Wall Street Journal politics reporter Jackie Calms to Politico.com's John Harris and narrative journalist Constance Hale.
Be on the lookout for former Boston Globe staff member and UMass alum Charles Sennott's new "Global News Enterprises, which looks to employ journalists with the itch to travel by Jan. 09. He's focusing on Second World international news. Long way off from the Collegian's arts section.
Also, the Wall Street Journal's former Managing Editor Paul Steiger. He offered me some great tips on career development and explained his new Web site Propublica.org that will soon put a group of reporters to work who will focus solely on investigative pieces from a not for profit format.
For like minded young journalists out there... none seemed to support the doom suggested by others. Their innovation hints that there may just be different forums from which to do it.
More to follow in my next post.
