Public Media Collaborative Event: Social Media for Social Action and East Bay Blogger Camp

There is something brewing in the Bay Area.

Public Media Collaborative.

What has grown out of a dinner with some social media friends has turned into an adhoc service organization. While I already have my plate full – this has been a side project I am growing more passionate about. It helps Spot.Us (I’m not 100% altruistic here) but I genuinely believe in being part of a larger community. Journalism is a big part of my life. But so is the Bay Area. So are civic organizations. So are people who want to be empowered. And that’s why I think the Public Media Collaborative has grown, very naturally, from 5-6 of us having dinner talking about doing good – to a growing force able to organize the following.

We are holding events October 23rd and 24th.
