Students in the Online Journalism Seminar (Ohio University JSchool) this past quarter spent ten weeks examining a wide variety of issues at the center of our rapidly changing field. Their efforts culminated in a June 5 conference, at which they presented their main findings. The video clip below provides a brief overview of the conference.
If you weren't able to attend, in the right-hand column of this blog you can find links to the podcasts from each panel discussion, as well as online presentations by each student and the research paper they wrote. Feel free to comment on the blog posts. Keep the conversation going.

By the numbers...
Hey guys,
I thought I would take a break from prepping for my presentation and post some interesting numbers I've found in my research...
-Of the $600 million Obama raised, $500 million was from online donors; the average online donation was $80.
-On Obama's site, 2 million people created profiles. (See MyBarackObama.com) In addition, there were 200,000 offline events planned, around 400,000 blog posts written, and more than 35,000 volunteer groups created.
-5 million people used other social networking sites to keep track of the campaign.
-the Obama campaign had profiles on more than 15 social networking sites.
I also found some comparisons between Obama and McCain:
Hope this was a nice study break for everyone. Good luck tomorrow!

Presentation jitters and video difficulties
Status report: Almost complete
The fact that I am already in possession of my cap and gown was immediately a catalyst to get some serious work done; however, it also made me want to go fetal. An acquaintance asked me today what I'm doing after graduation. I told him about my internship in D.C. and how at least I have an apartment all set up.
He asked, "When are you heading out?"
"Oh, the day after graduation."
"You mean in two weeks."
Yes, apparently I did mean in two weeks. The video is going to be a bit of a thorn in my side and hopefully the conference goes well. Both are great experiences though.

The Final Few Days
I am finally done with my paper and video. I am going to upload it tomorrow to YouTube(which is very scary). I spent a good part of today preparing for my presentation, and I can’t wait until Friday. I’m nervous because I have trouble talking in front of large crowds and keeping what I plan to say in my head. Hopefully, with enough practice, all will go well.
My concern at this point is that I will present, and I will have missed a major point in my research. There seems to be new developments about my topic daily. I would hate to present the main points of my paper and learn from the audience that I did not cover a recent development. I hope that no one asks me how many followers I have, as I am not exactly popular on the Web site yet (I only have 6 or 7 followers).
Despite all my research, I still can’t say that I am a fan. Still, I do respect it more. Twitter is something that can be used is so many ways by so many different people. If this project was continuing into next quarter, I would have looked at the safety concerns revolving around the site. There is a television series set in the works, which would focus on people who follow celebrities. Ashton Kutcher, who is huge on the Twitter site, is against this because it could lead to stalking. Another interesting direction that this project could have gone in is how law enforcement is using Twitter to find criminals. How seriously should people be taking tweets? And does this infringe on a person’s right to speak freely? Those are just some things that I would go in to more if this project were continuing next quarter.
