InJo continues to grow

The concept of Innovation Journalism is blooming brighter than ever this spring, thanks in part to the EJC’s successful Interfacing Innovation event in Brussels.

Ideas will continue to germinate this month in Palo Alto, California, at the Sixth Conference on Innovation Journalism.

It’s a bargain of an event, tailored for today’s journalist in every way. It’s free to attend: the $150 booking fee is refunded to participants upon their arrival at the conference on 18 May.

One of Google’s vice presidents, Vince Cerf (often introduced as the Father of the Internet) will headline the three-day event talking about the future economy and technology of journalism.

Several mainstage panels will be held on offshoot topics. A bouquet of smaller best-practice workshops arranged by this year’s class of Innovation Journalism Fellows follow. The fellows, midcareer journalists from Sweden, Pakistan, Slovenia and Mexico, have spent their past months working for an innovation-related publication in the United States.

Each journalist is responsible for leading two sessions, to which they have each invited extra panelists from around the US.
