About Journalism 2.0

Mark Briggs coined the term Journalism 2.0 in 2005 when he was invited to write a book about digital literacy for journalists based on a training program he had created at The News Tribune in Tacoma, Wash. The book was published by J-Lab and the Knight Citizen News Network in 2006 and made available as a free PDF. 33.000 copies have been downloaded as a PDF and hundreds more were purchased as hard copies. In 2007 the book was translated into Spanish and Portuguese and another 60,000 people downloaded PDF versions in those languages.

As part of a mission to help journalists transform in the digital age, Mark has served as a speaker, trainer and consultant for various projects around the U.S. Here are samples of the feedback he has received following his appearances:

"Lots of great ideas. Very charismatic speaker. Definitely bring him back."

"Mark had good energy and presented real world applications. Good discussion. Practicel exercise."

"Mark was extremely engaging. He was very good at keeping me interested. He was my favortie speaker because he was best able to really get me excited."

Today, Journalism 2.0 is a business providing software, training and consulting – in addition to books.
