Berkman Media Re: Public Site

The Berkman Center for Internet & Society today announced "a major research release": Media Re:public: News and Information as Digital Media Come of Age. This series of papers explores the potential and the challenges of the emerging networked digital media environment -- an environment that impacts what we do at the desk, in classes, and in our work with users. It's worth a look!

"The Media Re:public series was put together over the course of a year of examining the news media in the U.S., engaging with journalists, bloggers, citizen journalists, public broadcasters, publishers, advertising networks, researchers, technologists, and many others. It builds on previous discussions, such as the 2005 Blogging, Journalism & Credibility conference, and highlights the need for a new public conversation about reinventing journalism in the public interest."

From the project main page, the conversation is being continued via the project blog.
