About the Seminar
The Knight Digital Media Center sponsored a five-day boot camp Oct. 3-7 in Chicago for fellows from organizations that won the Knight Community Information Challenge and will receive Knight Foundation funding to start or expand community news or information projects. The boot camp was intended to jump start their efforts with experts speaking on topics that include social media, Web metrics, project planning, and Web site development and evaluation. The boot camp is by invitation.
