Hi! I’m Britt Bravo, NetSquared‘s Community Builder. The second Tuesday of each month, social changemakers and web innovators get together at Citizen Space to network, socialize and share ideas at Net Tuesday, an event produced by NetSquared, a project of TechSoup.

Citizen Space has been nice enough to host us for many months now, and said I could let y’all know about this month’s Net Tuesday, Citizen Journalism: Not Just a Number and PulseWire, on May 8th from 6-8 PM.

Our three presenters will be Katy Newton and Sean Connelley, producers of Not Just a Number for The Oakland Tribune, and Anne-Christine d’Adesky, Director of Global Advocacy for World Pulse Magazine‘s PulseWire.

Not Just a Number is a community journalism project focused on the topic of violence and violence prevention, produced for The Oakland Tribune and their web affiliate insidebayarea.com. Last year Oakland’s homicide rate reached a five-year high of 148 people. NJN was created to give Oakland a place to share stories and to connect and develop solutions by utilizing a variety of new media journalism tools and interactive web based technologies.

PulseWire, is an interactive website where women worldwide “even those using Internet cafes and cell phones in remote villages” can speak for themselves to the world and collaborate to solve global problems.

PulseWire is a tool designed by and for diverse users: a Sri Lankan market woman looking for new sources of micro-credit, a Zimbabwean journalist documenting a crackdown in the streets with her cell phone, or a New York business woman offering to bring school supplies to women’s groups in Cambodia.

The event is free and you can RSVP on Upcoming or Meetup. Hope to see you there!
