Gillmor announces Center for Citizen Media
On his Bayosphere blog a couple of hours ago, Dan Gillmor announced his Next Big Thing: the Center for Citizen Media, a program "to study, encourage and help enable the emergent grassroots media sphere, with a major focus on citizen journalism," in conjunction with the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Harvard's Berkman Center.
Congrats, Dan! Important work, and no one more qualified to take it on.

File this one under the "if you can't do it, teach" category.
Dan wrote a great book about citizen media, but you would have to say Bayosphere has been a bit of a miserable failure going by the lack of community content on there.
Much of what Liz George wrote about Backfence is also true of Bayosphere.

Hate to say it, but I tend to agree. Looks like Dan G. is settling into the comfy confines of academia -- for the regular paycheck? -- rather than getting out into the marketplace where the real grassroots media ecosphere is evolving. What a disappointment.
