#PubCampWest project pitches: Election 2012

PubCampWest was a two-day event. On the first day, conference attendees met in small groups in an effort to create ideas for collaborative projects in three areas: reaching the whole community, integrating online and covering the 2012 election. The following day members of each small group pitched their project ideas to the entire conference.

This week we’ll be posting audio and photos from those pitches. First up: ideas for covering the election.

Below are links to images of the pages that contain the ideas discussed - they’re links instead of embedded photos so you can get a closer look at what’s written. (I apologize if they’re a bit blurry; they were shot with my iPhone.)

PubCampWest is a collaboration of KPCC, Southern California Public Radio, PBS SoCal and KQED.

PublicMediaCamp, or PubCamp for short, is a nationwide series of gatherings focused on forging greater collaboration between public media organizations and their communities. Inspired by unconferences such as Foocamp and Barcamp, PubCamps are informal opportunities for techies and community media makers to get together with NPR and PBS staff and develop projects together.
