Webinar, 11. Juni: Huffington Post und wir Freie - was tun?

Die Huffington Post strebt nach Deutschland. Das US-Internetportal lebt von Blogbeiträgen, für die kein Honorar gezahlt wird. Die Gründerin hat damit 300 Millionen Dollar verdient, die freien Blogger sahen davon nichts. Wie können Freie mit einem neuen Geschäftsmodell von Medien umgehen, die auf kostenloses "Crowdsourcing" setzt? Ein Webinar der Europäischen Journalisten-Föderation (auf Englisch) mit Journalisten aus ganz Europa widmet sich diesem Thema.

Huffington Post & us: The freelance response to unremunerated journalism. Without a fair remuneration, journalists would not be able to sustain and carry its mission to serve the public. But new business models do not offer any pay. How can freelances react to this? Do they have any chance to oppose a new system of journalism – - – or so called crowd sourced journalism?

The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) is offering this online seminar (webinar) on the future of freelance journalism in Europe as a part of its activities to improve the situation of freelance journalists. The webinar comes with an open text chat and/or audio chat.

The seminar language will be English.

This online seminar will be recorded, but live participation is the best!

You can participate without any special software or any special software skills. After registration, you will get a confirmation e-mail. There will be an invitation code sent to you on June, 11 at 12.30 p.m. continental European time (CET). The webinar will then start at 1 p.m.

The invitation email will include a link to a small program called netviewer (more information at www.netviewer.com, please note this is not the GoToMeeting program offered on this site as well) which you can easily install by authorizing an .exe-file (for Windows users) or an applet-file (for Mac users).

The installation process runs automatically, once you have given the authorization. Don’t worry, the program is safe. The Federal Computer Security Authority of Germany (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informatik) has issued a security certificate to the netviewer program.
