Through a collaborative and open process, we are hoping to build not just an educational resource, but also a community of practice around this book.
To that end, we will be holding a preliminary chat for authors Wednesday, May 10 at 12 p.m. EST. You can join by clicking this link. https://zoom.us/j/338832720
In this call, you’ll have a chance to:
*talk about your plans for your chapter
*hear about other authors’ plans for their chapters
*ask any onboarding or logistical questions
If you’re not able to attend, follow this thread–we will post a recap of the discussion here.
@lizmays Cool. I see it in the agenda for July…just wondering how it’ll work. Sorry to get ahead of myself. I’ll author a chapter first and then we can figure out how to get it peer reviewed.
@lizmays Hi all I’m attaching a draft of the Resiliency Sidebar for Chapter One: In addition to overall feedback on whether this is even on the right path at all, I had a couple questions: 1) re the tone - It is more introductory/motivational than instructional, but I got the vibe from call that it could be conversational, but just checking if this is suitable tone, or if should be more scholarly 2) I was wondering if it would make sense to link some of the concepts to other sections of the text that will explore those in much more depth 3) Again, assuming its on right path, what do you think about the third section being from the voice/perspective of an “innovation veteran” student, like 5 tips for surviving failure… Thank you all in advance
Hi @poetabook, @michelleferrier and I will take a first read of this and get you feedback asap. (One note: For some reason, it seems like the file did not upload. Could you please re-upload? As long as it is under 2 MB, it should work. If it is over, you can email it to Michelle and I as a Gdoc. 1. The notion of how conversational to be has come up for several, and we will try to provide clarification on this once we get a sense of where most pieces are falling on the spectrum. 2. Yes, that is a great thought! 3. Love this idea. Go forth! So that we can provide more specific feedback, can you try to reupload the file? I apologize for the inconvenience.
A recap of our call, plus more followup to come soon. In the meantime, I’ve created a spreadsheet we can use to crowdsource the resource list including national foundations, grants and competitions that fund journalism ventures. You can find (and add to!) that here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TwEfeWBHjlb-DHU3h0jax0CsZ8fG-uM79sU385x-42A/edit
Hi All,
A recap of yesterday’s call is now available. You can access that here. I’ll send this around in an email followup to all contributors tomorrow or Monday.
