Social Media Weekend at Columbia Journalism School http://bit.ly/socmediaweekend
May 13-15 (Friday evening to Sunday afternoon), the Continuing Ed department of Columbia Journalism School (@columbiajourn) is hosting a weekend of workshops, panels and keynotes to help journalists, media professionals and others understand social media better. We expect about 200 people from around the country to attend various parts of the weekend, which will be a fun, interactive, multi-day learning experience filled with new-fangled tools and services and sprinkled with some old-fashioned networking, too.
The opening event will give you a flavor of the weekend:
Friday 6-9 pm Opening Keynote & Reception features Andy Carvin (@ACarvin) of NPR, whose innovative Twitter work during #Egypt, #Libya, #Japan, etc, have gotten attention around the world, including a Washington Post Style cover profile; and CJR asked, "Is this the world's best Twitter account?"
