Your Next Mission: Should You Choose to Accept It
Posted: June 16, 2011 Filed under: July, Uncategorized 6 Comments »The last Carnival of Journalism went great. And it ended with an epic internal thread started by Lisa Williams.
Steve “the silver” Fox has a recount of the thread.
And thus our next topic for the Carnival of Journalism was chosen. And some of you already have a head start in thinking about it.
The host: Lisa Williams.
The question: Right now, nominations are open for the Online Journalism Awards. What qualities should awards like this endorse in an era of such tremendous change in the news industry?
Deadline: Thursday, July 14 noon PST.
Hopefully we are starting to get into a routine and everyone knows how this works. The question is above. On Thursday July 14th we will all publish our respective posts and link back to this post here (leaving a comment with a link to your post) and share them via our Google group. Discussions will then continue.
Interested in hosting a future #jcarn – let me know.

This is my first “mission” and I have to say, great start!
