Once again, PBS MediaShift brought together a diverse mix of collaborators from public media, commercial media, academia and beyond for a Collab/Space workshop, this time in Chicago at the TechNexus incubator space. The workshop took place the day before ONA14 began.
Sponsored by the John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships at Stanford and hosted by TechNexus, the all-day workshop included NewU’s Doug Mitchell and Circa’s David Cohn giving inspirational talks, with presentations from nine media startups and, fitting for Chicago, improv comedy exercises.
We’ve rounded up a collection of photos and tweets from the event, and will add in links to coverage. Did you attend Collab/Space Chicago? Share your experience in the comments, and send us links to any blog posts or stories you may have written, and we’ll add them to the post.
If you missed out, you still have time to register for our next Collab/Space workshop, happening in DC at the Washington Post on November 6 — with a focus on data projects and startups! Register now. And if you want to present a data project or startup, apply here.
