Pier Screenings Panel: Kwon, Wolf, Fitzgerald

For this Wednesday’s Pier Screenings, we’re pleased to announce that we’ll have not just one but three speakers who will appear together in a roundtable to discuss the role of citizen video in newsgathering. They are:

  • lg.jpg
    Sue Kwon, technology and business reporter for CBS 5 Eyewitness News.
  • screenshot9.jpeg
    Josh Wolf, the independent journalist and videoblogger most famous for being jailed for refusing to turn over his source material of a 2005 protest and later refusing to identify people depicted in the video. He’s also a current San Francisco mayoral candidate.

    Andrew Fitzgerald, manager of citizen journalism at Current TV and producer of Current’s award-winning Hurricane Katrina coverage.

That’s in addition to our most excellent lineup of judges: Kara Swisher, columnist at the The Wall Street Journal’s AllThingsD and an up-and-coming videoblogger; citizen media guru JD Lasica; and documentary maker Michael Ferris Gibson, who made 24 Hours on Craigslist.

We’re closing submissions and voting later today, so hurry over to the Pier Screenings community site. And if you’d like to attend, it’s free, and we still have a few spots left.

    Here’s an intriguing story… I wish that I could actually enter it.
