Chicago's nationally noted grassroots media training shop, Community Media Workshop, has posted online expanded coverage of last month's annual Making Media Connections conference. Regular readers will recall MMC as the venue for the release of The New News, a report that named the top community-centric blogs and niche media sites in Chicago.

The new content from the June 2009 conference includes a detailed recap, a photo archive, live blog transcripts from the two-day event, and video interviews, including the following sleepy eye-thumbnailed words from Yours Truly regarding the need for traditional media to look online for tomorrow's columnists and news gatherers.

The event prompted last month's Chicagosphere missive on how the blogosphere works, and together with the follow-up Chicago Media Future Conference (review of community responses here), served as the genesis for my call for a blogger-centered summit on ways to sustain news on the blogosphere.
That effort, now known as C-BOM: Community Blogging and Online Media Strategy Day, remains in the works with a tentative August date, space and materials sponsorship from the Tribune, and the kind in-name support of the Beachwood Reporter, Chicagoist, Chitown Daily News, Gapers Block, and Windy Citizen.
More on that to come...
