“I signed-up for CommuniCamp to learn practical skills, current best practices, new technologies and strategies that my undergraduate education in theatre 20 years ago may have missed! Having been involved with non-profits for nearly two decades now, I have great respect for Community Media Workshop and trust their ability to share the information specifically needed by community-based organizations operating on a wide scale and a small budget”. -  RoiAnn Phillips,Communications and Program Associate, HealthConnect One

Today nonprofit communicators are thinking more like journalists and journalists have a new appreciation for what it means to be “nonprofit” (for better or for worse).

• It’s about business: Which new models and new ways will best support news and nonprofit communications?

• It’s about media and tech: How will today’s Web 2.0 platforms change the way we tell our stories, cover our communities, and deliver our messages?

• It’s about content: Whose new voices and new stories will be heard in print, online and on the air?

• It’s about all of us: Who from among from among established and emerging communicators and reporters will help shape the future of news?
