Digital Communications Workshop: Crowdsourced Reporting- Storytelling from Multiple Vantage Points with Annie Shreffler, Free
Digital Communications Workshop presented by Annie Shreffler,
Freelance Multimedia Reporter. Annie will present best practices and examples of good
crowdsourced projects.
She’ll discuss her experience with crowdsourcing story content
with web based tools which she used for two public media projects,
one covering the effects of the economic crisis in 2009 from an NYC
perspective, the other a call for stories about the current gay
rights movement.
Annie obtained her MA at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism in
New York City, and worked for WNYC Public Radio as a new media
producer. There she conducted crowdsource reporting for The Brian
Lehrer Show. Annie also worked for WNYC on the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting's Economy Story collaboration, and authored
Crowdsourcing: A eldguide from WNYC. Annie's reporting has
appeared on WNYC.org, Huffington Post, Gannet Journal News, Norwood
News, Open Media Boston, PBS.org, WGBHLab.org, WORLDCOMPASS.org and
the Knight
Foundation News Blog. She currently freelances in Boston and writes
about new media and other matters on her blog, Just the Facts. Find
