Citizen Journalism Open House, An Invitation

6/11/2023

by Glenn C. Koenig, webmaster at Town Wide Mall
EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT -  On Tuesday, June 27th, I am hosting my first Citizen Journalism Open House, at the Maynard Public Library on 77 Nason Street, from 6:30 to 9 PM, in the Roosevelt Room.  I’m inviting anyone, of any age, to join me in casual conversation, and to learn a little about the influence of technology on news reporting.
Starting this week (June 13th), I will begin mounting an exhibit on the walls of the room consisting of illustrated panels that present various milestones in communication media.  I plan to start with a few panels, then add more each day or two, leading up to the open house on the 27th.  Anyone is welcome to stop by to have a look during library hours, when the room is not otherwise occupied.

I think of the exhibit and event as an informal “learning environment” rather than something that follows the structure of a meeting, a talk, or a class.  I’m ready to talk about what I’m doing, and lend my perspective on communication media and citizen journalism, but I’m also very much interested in the ideas and perspectives of anyone else who would like to share or have questions.

I promise I won’t ask anyone to join a committee or commit to anything else; my only invitation is to show up, learn something, and have a good time in the process.  We may be standing around talking in groups or sitting, depending on what those who attend wish to do.  Although I’m seeking donations here on this web site, I won’t be soliciting for them while at the Library.

I’m thinking of providing some refreshments, but I would like to get some idea of how many people may attend and what kind of things they’d perhaps like to snack on.  Please RSVP using the form below if you’re willing. Attendance at this event is free and open to the public.  And by the way, I’m serious about this being an invitation to anyone of any age, from 9 to 90 (and no, I won’t be checking IDs!).

(Note: I have just learned that the library web site calendar only shows events hosted by the library itself, or ones hosted by other official town committees or departments, so this event will not be listed there.  However, Discover Maynard Calendar should have a listing.)
