   Hi,
   I came across your site through a deliberate effort to locate media partners with broad objectives of improving service delivery by media practitioners and stakeholders.

   I am particularly interested by your focus-use of media to build and improve real communities in a connected society.My organisation- the Voice of Nigeria is very much interested in sending its staff to attend the programme scheduled for February 2007, however we shall appreciate your kind consideration in providing direct sponsorship or recommending Voice of Nigeria to other organisation capable of providing such sponsorship.
   You can visit Voice of Nigeria at http://www.voiceofnigeria.org.

   We anxiously await you response.

   Andrew, thanks. Our deadline for fellowship applications has already passed. If you can find another means to attend we’d love to see you – or if not, plan to participate in our online conversations beginning next month.

   Hi,
   What was the deadline for fellowship applications? This conference sounds interesting, and it is a shame that expensive fees exclude people from participating. If you are serious about building community, then inclusivity is important. If we know the deadline for future years, maybe we can apply then.

6. Andrew Nachison December 14th, 2006 10:38 am

   Rita, thanks and sorry you missed the fellowshp deadline. Still, point taken. We are serious about building an open community, but at the same time the costs of producing a conference like this are substantial. We know there are lots of conferences that charge less – they are also conducted differently, with different expectations of the experience. There are also many media and business conferences that charge a great deal more than what we’re charging for We Media – our sponsors help us keep the costs down.

   Meanwhile, we’re just getting started with fund-raising and outreach to other sources. And we’re aiming to roll out a membership model next year with lower-cost membership fees for non-profits and educators (and for startup companies). If we can draw modest support from members then our annual conference pricing could look very different in 2008. I would LOVE to charge less. More to your point – we don’t want cost to be an obstacle to participation. We’ve partially addressed that problem through our felowship program.

   The fellowhip deadline was in early November (described back in October here.

    A thousand dollars?
    WHAAAAAT????

    How do you expect this event to benefit everyone, when only those wealthy enough to set aside a THOUSAND BUCKS for travel and registration can attend? I’m a professional journalist – a news anchor – and I can’t afford that. And I live in Miami!

    I’d love to take part in this, but the price is just insane. Isn’t there another way?

    [...] I went digging through my Gmail account today searching for the first correspondence I had with Brian Breslin, Refresh Miami’s curator and next May it will be about a year from when I first contacted him to get the ball rolling on the Refresh group. It’s been great to see what’s happened in the local community just from Refresh in under a year. designers and community guys have been hired, locals have been spotlighted and companies and schools are pitching in and helping us continue to make connections.This sort of stuff is exactly why the concept of Refresh was even invented. I can’t attribute everything that is going on currently down here to Refresh Miami, but with events like Barcamp and WeMedia it’s clear that something is finally beginning to happen down here and it should be an interesting to see what happens this year.

    Hi,
    I am a journalist from Rwanda, East Africa, and have been following and reading your site.
    Your ideas are provocative and I’d love to attend your conferences but the rates are prohibitive and the fare equally high.
    I agree with colleagues on the aspect of funding or fellowships to enable us to attend.
    Nevertheless, I will try to follow the proceedings on your blogs and website.
    Kind regards,
    Geoffrey

28. mikegowen.com :: Blogger Dinner February 9th, 2007 9:08 pm

    [...] The first in what we hope will be a new tradition of South Florida blogger dinners was a success. The dinner, sponsored by Scrapblog, brought together local bloggers and attendees of WeMedia 2007 which took place at the University of Miami. The dinner was at Town & Kitchen in South Miami. It was nice to see such a great turnout. There were over 45 people dining and networking…check out the full list and a few pictures. The food tasted excellent, although I took home my own little doggy bag in the form of a mild case of food poisoning, which inevitably caused me to miss much of WeMedia the following day. But eColi aside, it was a great time and I look forward to the next one. [...]

But I did manage to make it out to support Carlos and Omar for their presentation of Scrapblog at the end of the day. I snapped a few pictures of the presentation as well as the Mojito party, also sponsored by Scrapblog. It was great to finally chit-chat with Shel Isreal and David Parmet out of the office, both of whom have joined the Scrapblog team. We’ve been deep in the zone preparing for launch which hasn’t left us with much time for such luxuries as personal hygiene, much less interaction with anyone outside our 30×30 office. But that’s par for the course if you want to do great things, and I assure you we’re making it worth it. [...]

33. giornalismi possibili » Sondaggio Usa: blog e citizen journalism cruciali nell’informazione di domani February 14th, 2007 4:35 pm

    [...] La maggiornaza dei cittadini statunitensi (55%) ritiene che i blogger sono importanti nel futuro del giornalismo nazionale e il 74% pensa che il citizen journalism vi giocherà un ruolo vitale. Questi i dati di un fresco sondaggio online, curato da WE Media/Zogby Interactive. Inoltre, secondo il 53% degli interpellati l’emergere dei “free media” su Internet-è una delle maggiori opportunità per il futuro del giornalismo professionale e il 76%sostiene che Internet ha avuto un impatto positivo sulla qualità complessiva del giornalismo. E il 72% ha espresso insoddisfazione sull’attuale qualità del giornalismo statunitense. Diffusi alla recente WeMedia Conference tenuta alla University of Miami, i dati del sondaggio collimano con l’analogo poll riservato ai partecipanti all’evento: secondo il 61% il giornalimo tradizionale non ha idea di quel che i cittadini vogliono dall’informazione, mentre l’86% è convinto che i blogger avranno molto da dire nel futuro del giornalismo. Il poll online di Zogby Interactive ha interpellato 5.384 adulti sparsi sull’intero territorio nazionale, nel periodo 30 gennaio-1 febbraio, ed ha un margine di errore di +/- 1,4 punti percentuali.
