JRC Chat on alternative storytelling

It's Wednesday! And that means that members of the Journal Register Company's Idealab - and anyone who wants to - are going to be taking part on the weekly Twitter chat at noon.

In light of CUNY professor (and JRC adviser) Jeff Jarvis, we'll be tackling the orthodoxy of the article and  we'll are talking about alternative storytelling: What this is, what forms of alternative storytelling are out there, how they can complement (replace?) articles and what forms have we used that work best.

The live feed is posted below. But you can also follow the chat here or here or also here. And you can also check out past chats over here.

If you want to chime in, just post a tweet with the hashtag "#jrcchat" so it can automatically appear below, or post a comment in the field at the bottom of the chat box.

As always, you are welcome to participate at anytime you want.
