Late news from the Online News Association conference in Toronto. Here’s a very short video of yours truly talking about ethical issues with blogging, especially among journalists. I remember being interviewed by a couple of students, but never saw where the video went. Turned out, it was on YouTube.

During the community panel discussion at the Online News Association Conference, Rob Curley made some cogent comments about how people use the Internet and where news media “plays” in those areas. His comments began with a discussion of IndyMoms.com, an effort by the Indianapolis Star to develop a niche community web site.
Listen to the audio of Curley’s remarks. The audio was recorded on the internal mic on my MacBook Pro and edited with audacity. It was uploaded to the Internet Archive and hosted via ourmedia.org (whose founder J.D. Lasica was the moderator of the panel in question). Feel free to share it with others.

Quite a lot of useful discussion at the panel on curriculum. Read the brief description here. Honestly, there seemed to be a couple of overarching themes: every student needs to have some multimedia training, and learning online ways of storytelling should be mixed in with every class in the curriculum. I’ve got lots of audio from yesterday’s sessions, and I’ll try to post more as the day goes on.

Sat through a great panel discussion with some big names in the community journalism world. Moderated by J.D. Lasica, featuring Rob Curley, Dan Gillmor and Jay Rosen. Here are some photos. I caught a little audio of Jay Rosen answering a question I posed, and I’ll post that in a little while.

One thing that’s not so big at this conference is the name that appears on the nametag. I have a hard time seeing at a distance anyway, and it’s impossible for me to read anyone’s name without invading their personal space.
