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. (There is even a new UK version launching next week to accommodate those in a drastically different time zone.)
#journchat is a SAFE environment where all can freely post questions and answers. Constructive criticism and “brutal facts” are welcome! The quality of dialogue in each session is only as good as those who participate. (And, boy, we’ve already had great dialogue!)
Follow @journchat or @PRsarahevans for the low down on #journchat on Twitter!
Thank you for participating in what may just be a revolutionary idea for our industries!
Best,
Sarah Evans

Great idea to have a blog for #journchat highlighting the key topics and providing another forum for people to connect. This whole idea could turn into something really big because conversation between PR professionals and journalists is key, especially as the media is facing so many issues today. Let’s work together to hit problems head on and let’s help each other! I look forward to continuing the dialogue.
Hi! My name is Thiago. I’m a Journalism student in Brazil and I’m trying to organize #journchatbr. In the same monday (yesterday) when I first discover about the US (original) version, I was debating with a friend about Citizen Journalism and Crowdsourcing, and I thought: “Hey, what a Great Opportunity to start a conversation!”. Then, we started!
PS: Sorry for my mistakes in english, lacks me vocabulary. =/

[...] The way that it works is that everyone logs on to Twitter with their favorite hashtag tracking tool (Tweet Grid, Tweet Deck, Twitter Search), then the moderator poses a few questions and everyone starts responding, making sure to include the #journchat hashtag. Sarah also has a great post on the #journchat site explaining the concept. [...]
