The Ibero-American Colloquium on Digital Journalism brings together journalists and researchers from the Americas, Spain and Portugal to discuss the future of online journalism.

The colloquium is organized by the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas. The first one was held in Austin, Texas, April 5-6, 2008, immediately following the 9th International Symposium on Online Journalism.

Unlike the symposium, which is conducted in English, the colloquium is predominantly in Spanish and addresses the issues and concerns of journalists and scholars who deal with digital journalism in Spanish and Portuguese. We hope that the colloquium is the beginning of a new dialogue between journalists of the Americas and Iberian Peninsula.

The 2nd Ibero-American Colloquium on Digital Journalism will take place on April 19, 2009.  Participants will include representatives from Semana.com (Colombia), UOL.com.br (Brazil) and scholars from the Universidade de São Paulo (Brazil) and Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain).
