Citizens reporters forum

Last June, Oh Yeon Ho, founder and CEO of the pioneering South Korean online news publication OhmyNews, welcomed a global gathering of citizens media representatives to Seoul.

This July 12-15, OhmyNews is doing it again, with a kicker: They're paying for round-trip air fare and deluxe hotel accommodations for three representatives from Ourmedia. (I'll be attending, plus two others.)

If you've done some citizen journalism for Ourmedia and want to attend, drop me an email. (I may not get back to you right away; i'll be on the road to Italy and Cannes starting mid-week this week.)

Mr. Oh writes: "The door is wide open again this year to new media practitioners and citizen reporters around the world. Building upon the success we saw last year, we are aiming to invite the who 's who of citizen journalism to Seoul and identify the best practices forward in this still-fledgling field."

Sounds exciting. Between the OhmyNews International Citizen Reporters' Forum, the AlwaysOn Innovation Summit and BlogHer, July is gonna be just crazy.
