PBS MediaShift and the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism will be hosting the first Collab/Space 2012, a hands-on workshop and networking event to help journalists better collaborate. The event will include thought leaders in the world of journalism and technology, with targeted talks, helpful demos, and breakout teams that will work in collaboration. Collab/Space will be held in conjunction with the new website, Collaboration Central, recently launched by MediaShift and Berkeley IRP, and with funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

Collab/Space is sponsored by ScribbleLive, a leader in real-time content creation and publishing.
