Lindsay Damrow

Santa Clara senior Communication major Lindsay Damrow presented the results of the online journalism course's Digital Journalism Review at the Journalism Innovations II conference at USF in early May, 2009. The Society of Professional Journalists/NorCal, Independent Arts & Media, and other regional organizations organized the conference to discuss the news media's role in democracy, along with new ideas and approaches to fulfilling this role when the old business models aren't working.

The conference drew professional journalists from around the state to learn about innovations in journalism funding, news delivery, and involvement by the public. Damrow presented the results of a quarter-long review of online news by the Winter Digital Journalism course, which are captured in their various blogs: http://digitaljournalismreview.blogspot.com. Damrow has been asked to present her results again to a class at the University of San Francisco.
