I’m participating in a journalism roundtable discussion at Georgia State University today. A variety of news professionals will be on hand to help the university develop its curriculum for students, and help the academics develop areas of future research.

I’ll be sharing my insights as a news professional, and social media practitioner. I’ll also share the abstract from my current graduate study. My thesis is titled “Gatekeeping and Citizen Journalism: A qualitative study on participatory media.” I’m currently collecting the data, and the plan is to graduate this semester. I only have two interviews to complete. Then I’ll be in the lab writing.

I created the video below specifically for the presentation. I’d love to get the opportunity to help traditional broadcast new station develop innovative methods of news gathering. Please share your thoughts.
