Journchat “journchat originated via the microblogging site, Twitter. I believe there is a need in this evolving world of media and public relations for some major dialogue between those who make it happen. The mission of #journchat is to keep an ongoing, open dialogue between journalists, bloggers and public relations professionals (for as long as we can). The conversation takes place every Monday night from 7 to 10 p.m. CST via Twitter. All tweets should be tagged with #journchat. To follow the conversation, go to http://search.twitter.com or http://tweetgrid.com/ and type in #journchat. It’s a live streaming conversation.”
