On Friday, April 17, I will be participating in the Netroots Nation Bay Area New Media Summit and Celebration in San Francisco, California as a panelist in the opening plenary session discussion on “The Evolution of Journalism.”
>> The New Media Summit and Celebration is still open for registration — $60 Celebration, $80 Summit and Celebration. Space is limited, register today!
My fellow panelists include, Markos Moulitsas of DailyKos.com; Tim Dickinson of Rolling Stone; Clara Jeffry of Mother Jones; and Robin Sloan of CurrentTV. The panel will be moderated by new media research consultant Lynn Gutsadt. The discussion is described by the Bay Area New Media Summit as follows:
News outlets across the country are struggling to stay afloat, while blogs are gaining readership—and clout—with breaking coverage and an interactive platform. At the same time, organizations like Current TV are enlisting citizen journalists to grow their audiences. In an era where blogs and social media applications like YouTube and Twitter are shifting power to those formerly known as the audience, how is technology evolving the concept of journalism? How can both old and new media outlets innovate and survive as others are dying?

Technology has forever changed the media and political landscape. Come hear some of the Bay Area’s leading technology and civic leaders discuss how new media is changing not only politics and democracy—but society and business, too. Learn how to use new media to promote your cause or organization, then stick around to celebrate the accomplishments of Netroots activists and Bay Area innovators who pioneered these groundbreaking online organizing techniques.
I hope you will be able to make it!
