True North Media House

The True North Media House project aims to inspire social media creation and educate about best practices for sharing content with audience. We’ll do this through a variety of meet-ups, photo walks, field trips, and outings with international media makers and aggregating Olympic culture-related content licensed with a Creative Commons license.

Here’s a few bits to get started with:

Events – see the activities we’re hosting and suggest others

News Desk – TNMH-friendly reporters and their content

Toolkit – Rules, regs, maps, ideas, links, sites, etc.

Background

True North Media House is a media collaboration campaign to encourage social coverage of major events, highlight emerging media and provide a venue for discussing the increasing use of social media in society, particularly at events of global importance like the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver Canada.

To participate, please register at the Alternative Media Group and we’ll approve your request as soon as possible. There is also a True North Media House Wiki where the planning happens and follow the campaign’s activities on Twitter @TNMH.
