Sigh - you know, I just can’t win for losing after choosing. See why I hate to commit to things?

I’ve finally gotten clearance to apply for (and hopefully be accepted for attending) The White House Project’s Go Run! Ohio program in Columbus from June 6-8, when what happens? I get asked to attend something that will occur June 4-6 in conjunction with another event occurring June 6-8 - in Minnesota of course.

Here’s the scoop - and if you can attend the Minnesota events, please, please go and CoverItLive or something - though I bet they’ll have webinars and other elements of it available after the fact:

First up:

The Journalism That Matters Minnesota gathering
June 4-6, 2008

Minnesota Journalism Center at the Univ. of Minnesota
New Pamphleteers/New Reporters: Convening Entrepreneurs Who Combine Journalism, Democracy, Place and Blogs

Visit this wiki for all the information.

Then, following that event, in the Minneapolis Convention Center:

The Fourth National Conference for Media Reform, June 6-8:

Join fellow activists, media makers, educators, journalists, policymakers and concerned citizens in calling for real and lasting changes to our nation’s media system.

2008 provides us with a great opportunity to put the issue of media reform in the national spotlight. Join us in Minneapolis and help us build this critical movement.

Registration is now open. Of course, you don’t need to register to keep tabs on NCMR 2008 — just join our mailing list or follow the blog.

The amount of information, names of speakers and topics is a little overwhelming for both events but if you can find a way to get there, do. Like the zillions of tabs I always keep open in Firefox because I fantasize that I’ll be able to get to them all and write about them, I’m not saying I won’t get to Minnesota just yet.

Speaking of Minnesota, here’s information on a reporting fellowship there.
