New convergence newsletters

I have been remiss in reminding you that new issues of The Convergence Newsletter are out;

May-June: Our convergence and communities issue has two articles about creating online communities - one is a Q&A with Pegasus News founder Mike Orren, and I wade in with some obsrvations on what it takes to create online community through what we've learned at Hartsville Today.

June: Our international issue features an eye-opening piece by Fulbright scholar Alice Klement on the challenges of teaching convergent journalism in Ethiopia where power outages have to be figured into all the other challenges.

Why two issues in June? Yeah, we got a bit behind, partly because we need your articles. Please send proposals to convedit@mailbox.sc.edu. And in September, we'll have a good summary by Edgar Huang on his research into HD streaming technologies.
