I’m trying to gauge interest in a new media meet up in the D.C. area.
To be eligible for this meet up you must meet two criteria:
- Work in new media/online media
- Work for a company that is either journalism related or creates non-fiction content
Now, you can work for a traditional media company (a newspaper for instance) and actually be an online journalist. That’s fine. But this is a meet up for people who make non-fiction content for the Web. Students who specialize in online media will also be welcome.
This is not a meet up, however, for people who want to learn about new media. It’s for people who actively are engaged in it.
The purpose of this meet up isn’t just to get drunk and exchange business cards. No the real purpose is to exchange ideas. This is a meet up for people interested in talking about the future of journalism and non-fiction content.
This is for people who want to push the envelope of what is possible.
If this sounds like something that appeals to you, please send me an e-mail at connect (at) patthorntonfiles (dot) com. Let me know what days of the week/times are good for you.
And feel free to toss around ideas in the comments section of what we should talk about.
