And more on mission:
Jill Foster teaches communications through social media tools and community engagement in the Washington, DC area. And she’s a blogger pro offering live blogging services and content creation; in January 2009, she helped to launch a new project and now serves as editor for Women Grow Business, a Network Solutions community blog.
She loves teaching people how accessible and empowering online tools can be, and has done so in a variety of classrooms, nonprofits, and community organizations. Jill helps people develop their stories, both online and off, as well as their ‘voice’ for that content via a range of media platforms.
Multimedia dream come true:
In August 2008, Jill reported on the Democratic National Convention — creating a mobile, multimedia portrait with audio and video interviews, photographs, and text — using only her cell phone. She has been featured in the Washington Post, The Guardian UK, Indy Star, and online media outlets.
Community involvement:
- DC Media Makers, co-founder
- DC Web Women, steering committee
- WomenWhoTech Telesummit, host committee, 2008
- 48 Hour Film Project, producer, 2007
