J-School Panel Tonight

Christian Crumlish

I'll be in the audience at the panel tonight at Berkeley (at 6:30). I was going to bring my laptop and try to blog it live, but Scot told me that there was no wireless and no easy way to get me ethernet (the only access is directly under the dais as I understand it).

So maybe just a notebook and digital camera will do the trick. Wish I'd learned shorthand! I'll jot my impressions and blog them tonight. I hope others do the same, so that we can get a multifaceted view of the discussion, which is mainly about the interaction between journalism and weblogs.

I may even get to meet Scott Rosenberg in the flesh!

Betsy Devine proposes virtual poster session for BloggerCon: Explaining that a poster session is an informal context at an academic conference in which people who aren't formally presenting papers can still submit a title and abstract and read something. In Devine's conception, BloggerCon could invite contributers to a "poster session" of the conference, to be held in cyberspace. Bloggers... (People Power)
We're No. 10 (again): Through regular exercise and the downing of a lot of chocolate-covered donuts, Radio Free Blogistan's parent blog, Mediajunkie, has recovered its coveted 10th-place rankings in the list of Salon's all time Rankings by Page-Reads.... (Salon Bloggers)
Democratic party weblog: The Democratic National Committee has started a blog called Kicking Ass at the democrats.org site. I guess it beats faxing the talking points around, and I like the way they've jumped in with both feet. There's no calendar or forward-and-back links from individually archived entries, so I can't tell when the... (Politics)
