Global Voices - Reuters Collaborative Efforts
As part of its ongoing working relationship with Reuters, Global Voices, a non-profit global citizens' media project sponsored by the Berkman Center, has been collaborating with Reuters on events focused on drawing participation with the global blogosphere. Reuters, like many mainstream media organizations, is working to figure out how best to connect to and engage in conversation with the global blogosphere. You can read a bit about the collaborative effort here and here.
On April 5, Global Voices (GV) collaborated with Reuters on its first Newsmaker Debate, "Iraq: Is the media telling the real story?" Hosted by Reuters in NYC, the event focused on engaging both mainstream media and bloggers alike. Members of the GV community liveblogged the event and participated in a live IRC online chat, offering comments in response to the proceedings. Rebecca MacKinnon acted as "IRC Ambassador," representing comments and questions from the live chat back into the room. Reuters has posted the event video on its site, and its site feature has links to bloggers' comments and posts.
GV also recently collaborated with Reuters on its "Reuters Special Report - U.S China Relations" and on a page for the We Media conference in London this past week.
