Are you a journalist, correspondent, photographer or anyone who travels to do reporting? Have you ever wanted to easily be able to get access to media practitioners while traveling to another country on assignment, or searching for content from citizen reporters?
A new start-up is aiming to create a network of global reporters to make connections easier, share knowledge and even costs of reporting. Femke Awater and Charlotte Waaijers founders of http://www.correlations.nl/ will come and tell us about this new initiative and how secure technology can help improve their platform for journalists who want to remain anonymous.
Next, Sjoerd Klumpenaar and Elze van Driel will be talking about De Buitenlandredactie (The Foreign Desk), a platform connecting Dutch and Belgian correspondents and providing aspiring correspondents with information and inspiration. They will give their views on the changing nature of being a correspondent and how correspondents can use technology to do their job. Moreover, they will present an open-source map showing where Dutch and Belgian correspondents are currently base
Last, Mark Fonseca Rendeiro aka Bicyclemark; Portuguese-American, Amsterdam based, alternative journalist and independent podcast producer specializing in online journalism, social movements and global conflicts. Mark is the producer and host of Sourcecode.Berlin a bi-monthly Wikimedia Deutschland podcast on open source, open culture and creativity in the city of Berlin. He will talk about sourcecode.Berlin and the intersection of journalism.
Stay tuned for other speakers and if you would like to give a talk please contact me at [masked].
Refreshments will be provided by Free Press Unlimited and Internet Protection Lab.

Hi everyone! Thank you for joining the meetup last week. We got some great feedback and made some interesting new connections. We stayed in touch with Dominic and are planning to meet up with him next week Thursday, 19.00 in the same location. If any of you are interested in joining us, you are very welcome!
The purpose of the meeting is to share experiences and ideas for the Correlations (safety)project, and to mix these with other ideas from the group. Let me know if you want to join us and also if you want to join us for dinner (we will be ordering some food).
You can email us at: [masked]
Greetings,
Charlotte and Femke

It was a nice meetup yesterday, looking forward to the next one :) Too bad I didn't have a chance to chat with some of you afterwards since I had to go (heck, I found out about the meetup just a couple of hours earlier so I'm actually glad to have dropped by at all).
Coming from Serbia where journalism has died a log time ago, I'm actually glad there's much more enthusiasm here. Hopefully next time we meet I wouldn't feel like a complete stranger :D
