Chartreuse--our blogging friend who built a reputation by talking about what's happening in media--has just decided to make something happen in media. In a dramatic post this morning, he decided to send new media journalists straight into the reconstruction of New Orleans.
Start paying attention:
"I'm putting up $1000.00 of my own cash to send 2 people to New Orleans and the Gulf Region for a weekend to find out what’s really going on. I’m going to supply you with a cool ass video/camera,a place to stay and a rental car.
"So if you feel like getting from behind you laptop and getting at the truth, email me.
"If you own a company or blog or just feel the urge to want to help with the expenses email me. We can set up sponsorships of some kind. Corporations sponsor old media anyway so I have no problem with that.
"Let’s put the tools at our disposal to use and get at the truth and then pass it along"
Great to hear KnowMoreMedia is sponsoring this venture!
