Rest up and definitely post the orientation materials to the wiki. I created a Citizen Journalism space on the wiki at http://www.ctcvista.org/node/1084. You should be able to edit the main description and upload files. I hereby dub you the moderator of the citizen journalism section!

Hey Julie! How's everything? My organization has a fledgling citizen journalism program that has existed for several years. I am aggressively seeking funding to hire a news editor to head up/jump start our operation and provide stipends to citizen journalists whose articles we publish. I'd be quite interested to see what your training program looks like. Ours is quite unique, since we publish print articles on our "web portal," and we also broadcast citizen journalism pieces on various radio shows our volunteers produce. Some have professional journalism experience, but most are local DJs who love music and support independent media. Those are the kind of folks who I think would benefit from the training program you described.

Hey Meegan, what org. are you at again? We should definitely talk! Email me at julie.m.adler at gmail.
