What is Majority of None?
Because of this diversity, race and demographics has long been one of the core stories covered by the San Jose Mercury News. On June 28, we're inviting the community to join us for our first CopyCamp to discuss the coverage of race and demographics. The agenda will be created by folks who attend on the day of event.
You can register for CopyCamp by visiting our wiki. We created this site to allow folks to meet other attendees in advance. Please take a moment to register here, create a profile, introduce yourself to other attendees, and even propose a topic you'd like to have discussed at CopyCamp.
