The Knight Digital Media Center is making an interesting offer to those who are considering (or are already in the process of making) a community news website. The News Entrepreneur Boot Camp will be held this year May 16 – 21 at USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism in LA:
“This special boot camp is designed for digital journalists and others who are passionate about new ideas for serving the information and news needs of their communities but who lack the grounding in business and startup skills. Expert faculty from both academia and the private sector will provide intense instruction, coaching and mentoring on developing marketable business plans for providing news and information in the public interest.”
Those who are chosen will have their lodging, coursework and meal expenses paid for, and will get a travel stipend. Applications are here.
