Hi Jessica, here's another pair of suggestions of folks who might be able to help in some fashion with the program:

David Chase, publisher of Sun Valley (ID) Online. David's email is dave@sunvalleyonline.com; phone (208) 578-4119. And here's more about the project. He's within striking distance of Denver too.

Also worth contacting is Mark Potts of Growthspur (more).

Let us know if we can be helpful in other ways too!

Best, Adam for RJI Collaboratory

Hi Amy, I apologize for the delay in responding to your comment. We have a committee intact and I found a person in Chicago who not only teaches journalism and new media at the college level, but also runs a blog for Latinas.

I am still open to finding panelists or trainers in the Denver area for the convention. I'm looking for accountants, attorneys and people with small business skills to help with the entrepreneurial journalism curriculum, such as people who can give advice the process of getting into business, finding money, grants, registering a business, etc. They do not have to speak Spanish. We will also have a multimedia component, too, but a different task force on the convention committee is working on that.

I'd love any advice you might have on an entrepreneurial journalism training curriculum.

Thanks,
Jessica

Hi, Jessica

Could you be more specific about what qualitifications/experience your looking for in these journalists, other than that they speak Spanish?

Thanks,
