The Whole World is Watching: From Tahrir Square to Homs to Zuccotti Park, citizen journalists and ordinary people are using social media, video and cell phones to document their stories and revolutions. New York Times reporter Jennifer Preston will moderate a panel w/ Jigar Mehta of the "18 Days in Egypt" project; Tim Pool, live stream video reporter of Occupy Wall Street movement; Eric Carvin, social media editor, Associated Press and Chris Michael from Witness.org. The panelists would like this to be a conversation so please bring your thoughts and questions about how technology is blurring the lines between traditional and citizen journalism -- and what that means. We will also remember those who lost their lives in recent months trying to report what was going on.#citizensx
