1. Hi, Jon

   Apologies for this off-topic comment, but we’ve been trying unsuccessfully to reach you by e-mail.

   J-Lab, The Institute for Interactive Journalism, is compiling a new online citizen journalism directory – part of the new KCNN.org citizen journalism resource site. We wanted to try once more to gather information on Hack Bend for this directory.

   Please take five minutes to fill out a brief online survey so we can include your site (for free).

   Here is our survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=654963192812

   DEADLINE: We need your response by Monday, Feb. 26. This is your final opportunity to be included in the debut version of this directory.

   Due to respondents’ suggestions, we have restructured this survey so that all questions now appear on one web page. We also have reduced the number of required fields. So if you hesitated to respond before, please check out the revised survey.

   Our survey requests descriptive information that will allow us to categorize your site, location information to place it on our Google Map navigation interface, and contact information for our internal use only (to keep the directory updated).

   This online citizen journalism directory is sponsored by J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism at the University of Maryland, as part of a forthcoming Knight Citizen News Network initiative, and by the Center for Citizen Media, jointly affiliated with the University of California, Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism, and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University Law School.

   Please help us track the rise of citizen journalism.

   Questions: e-mail me at amy@ireporter.org

   NOTE: If you’re responding after Feb. 26, the above survey link may not work. Please e-mail amy@ireporter.org for an updated survey link.

   Thank you,

   Amy Gahran of I, Reporter, on behalf of J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism
