About Journalism 2.0
Mark Briggs
coined the term Journalism 2.0 in 2006
when he was invited to write a book about digital literacy for
journalists based on a training program he had created at The
News
Tribune in Tacoma, Wash. His first book, Journalism
2.0:
How
to
survive and
thrive in the digital age, was published by J-Lab and the Knight
Citizen News Network in 2007 and downloaded as a PDF more than 200,000
times in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
As part of his mission to help journalists
transform
in the digital age, Mark has served as a speaker, trainer and
consultant for various projects around the U.S. and Europe. In March
2010, he spoke
at
SXSW
Interactive
in Austin.

Mark recently finished an
updated version of
the book, titled Journalism
Next and published by CQPress in December 2009. You can
find it on Amazon.com. In May 2010 he was named one of 20 Journalists to
Follow by Quill, the magazine of the Society of Professional
Journalists.
He is also a Ford Fellow
in Entrepreneurial Journalism at the Poynter Institute and
co-founder of Serra Media,
a Seattle-based technology company that connects local publishers with
interactive applications that power online
innovations, and GonzoCamp, a collaborative
unconference event. Serra Media's first product is called Newsgarden and you can read more about it here.
Previously, Briggs was assistant managing editor for interactive news
at The News Tribune in Tacoma, Wash. from 2004-2008 and new media
director at The Herald in Everett, Wash. from 2000-2004. He was named
to Presstime magazine's "20 under 40" list for 2007 and he earned
journalism degrees from Gonzaga University and the University of North
Carolina. You can find him or on TripIt,
LinkedIn and Twitter.
The
book:
Journalism 2.0:
How to Survive and Thrive
A digital literacy guide for the information age. Available as a PDF

introduction
to online journalism has been downloaded more than 200,000 times in
