Public Journalism Network
 
The Charter Meeting of the now officially named Public Journalism Network was held this weekend at Kennesaw State University. Our Charter Members, who worked on a declaration of principles, are listed below. Our official Declaration will be posted later this week. We have a very clear vision of what we want to be and what we want to do this first year. Keep watching this site as it and the Public Journalism Network begin to grow.

A full day of heady discussion and action proved that we have the brainpower and the energy to do some wonderful things as we move into the 21st Century. My special thanks to all the Charter Members and to all the people who participated in the online forums developing the Charter drafts.

Society Charter Second Draft

Cole Campbell took your suggestions from the first online forum and rewrote the Charter. Now we need more input from you. What works, what doesn't, what would you add? By the way, we love the progress we've made so far. Read the Charter now and then head to the forum to make your comments.
