I’m leaving on Thursday for Boston

My flight to BOS leaves DTW (map) at 9:45a on Thursday the 29th. I’ll probably be in the city through the last week of August. I’ll be working with the Media Re:Public project at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society.

Goals of the project:

  • a typology of participatory media forms, from new entities large and small to the expanding range of projects within traditional news media entities;
  • case studies of representative projects, to explore the utility of the framework;
  • an “issues map” of cross-cutting questions aimed at informing future research ; and
  • an initial assessment of methods to measure and visualize the impact(s) of participatory media.

Through the summer, I will still be working from a distance on small projects at the RC and around Ann Arbor.
