the panel went well

Greetings from the OhmyNews International Citizen Reporters' Forum in Seoul. The conference so far has been quite interesting: a good mix of stories from the people building publications based on user-contributed content; and from the people who are actually creating and submitting that content to these publications -- mainly because it allows them to feel as if they finally have a chance to be heard in an environment where most media outlets tend to ignore their stories.

I thought our panel on the technology underlying the citizen journalism movement went well. You can check out the video online: Citizen Participation and Technology - OhmyNews International.
