Narrative journalism conference at SJSU Saturday
From the JMC Journal:
Host: AAJA SF Bay Area and SJSU
Location: SJSU – Dwight Bentel Hall,
100 Washington Square, San Jose, Calif.
When: Saturday, November 11, 9:30am
Phone: 650-906-7818
Cost: $10 for AAJA and SJSU members and students; $15 for non-members. Breakfast and lunch provided.
Hmm. With kickoff moved back to 3pm, you could hit a couple sessions and still have time to make the tailgate. Totally worth it.

Skypecasts – Chris Anderson
July 24th, 130pm Pacific – free live chat with Chris Anderson of Wired and Long Tail fame.
Wabbit season, duck season, conference season, soccer season
I missed Vloggercon and Bloggercon. Gnomedex was too far away. The World Cup – also a bit of distance to cover (Yeah, so we were in Italy for most of it, but who’s counting.). Okay, that wasn’t a conference, and I did manage to watch quite a bit of it, including the final (Forza Azzurri!).
Here’s the off-topic riff on the final: It was really fun to sit at the pub and watch a bunch of Americans who had been pulled onto the root-for-France train by the easy Zidane-the-hero story get the air knocked out of them by an Italian team with a story that’s probably more compelling, but much harder to tell. The biggest Italian star, Francesco Totti, was invisible for most of the tournament, assuming you weren’t reading an Italian newspaper. Something like 10 Italians scored their 12 goals. Plus there’s the backdrop of the match-fixing scandal at home, but maybe American eyes glaze over at the phrase “could be relegated to Serie B,” so that was mostly just alluded to as a possible distraction.
Here’s the end of the rant: Zidane was silenced, even with chances in front of the Italian goal, and then completely tarnished the happy little legacy he had built himself with an as-yet inexplicable head butt to the chest of Materazzi, who, incidentally, did manage to put the ball in goal today without needing a penalty kick to do it. What was Zidane thinking? That he’s going to leave that head butt as his defining last touch on the soccer world? Not a bright move. Italy wins, breaks the penalty kick spell, for what that’s worth, and the referees have four years to think about what they’ve done this month.
Back on topic: There are at least a few useful gatherings coming up in the Bay Area.
- SJPizzacast – July 27th in San Jose – Bloggers, podcasters, students, professionals, amateurs, faculty, freaks, geeks, pizza, and beer(?).
- BlogHer – July 28th and 29th in San Jose – In a little over a year, BlogHer has gone from concept to conference to community, and now the second conference promises to be a by-women, of-women, for-everyone event. Here’s Jay Rosen’s notes on last year’s event. Bonus fact: co-founder Elisa Camahort is an SJSU alumna.
- The AEJMC convention – August 2nd-5th in San Francisco – All the best in Journalism & Mass Communications research. Wednesday looks like lots of fun for me.
- WordCamp – August 5th in San Francisco – A one-day free conference for WordPress users and developers to party together. WordPress is the free, open-source software that runs this here blog.
So, um, stop hitting refresh on that ESPN Gamecast page. It’s over. Italy won. You can go back to ignoring soccer for four years. (Note to self: get some sort of expensive cable package that involves full coverage of the Italian, Spanish, and English leagues.) (Ed. note: It’s not going to happen.)
Search Local Events – San Jose Mercury News
Wow. The Merc does something right, finds a Web 2.0 partner to put together an events listing page that feels current, mashes with maps, and has RSS feeds. Excellent.

Webcast of a lunchtime panel talk at Berkeley that I should have gone to. Lots of local online journalism gurus here. Worth a look if you have any intention of working in the online department of a Bay Area paper. (Hint: You do.)

Who Needs Ink? Ceppos, Gillmor, and more at a panel talk tonight, free for students
There’s a Commonwealth Club event on the Future of Newspapers tonight at San Jose City Hall.
It’ll cost non-members $15, which I think is a little weird for a public event at City Hall, but whatever. It’s free for students, so check that link and read the fine print. I called the number and left a message with my info, so hopefully I’ll end up on the list. If so, you can expect a post or two about it from me tomorrow. (I’d blog a little bit live tonight, but I doubt the SJSU wireless reaches City Hall. Anyone know if that flashy new building has an open wifi network?)
See you there…
The JMC Journal: Who needs ink?
I would be at this even if it weren’t (I’m assuming) a required event happening during our class meeting time.
