C-SPAN Video Archives as a Resource for Teaching Community Journalism

I was searching through the wonderful C-SPAN video archives today looking for resources on community journalism. While I wasn't able to find a great deal directly related to this topic, here a number of interesting programs I came across that may be useful in classes on community journalism. All are available as streaming programming from C-SPAN:

  A panel of journalists and media executives look at how news organizations are using multimedia. (Originally broadcast 4/14/08)

  Editors of daily newspapers talk about the definition of and merits of civic journalism. Among the speakers is Michael Gartner, editor of the Ames Daily Tribune at the time, and former editor of the Des Moines Register and the president of NBC News.

Other speakers include Jennie Buckner of the Charlotte Observer, Edward Fouhy of the Pew Center for Civic Journalism, Craig Klugman of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, and Steven A. Smith of the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph. (Originally broadcast on 12/9/96)
