Category Archives: eventsHere’s why I’m going to get myself some “internet insurance.” I never want to deal with this situation again.

I’m not exactly Blanche DuBois, but…
I’m at the NewsTools2008 unconference at Yahoo HQ in Sunnyvale, CA — where 150 news/media people, academics, and technologists are gathered to figure out better tools to support journalism that matters. (Follow my live coverage on my amylive Twitter account.)

Remind you of any journalists you know?…
(NOTE: I originally posted this article on Poynter’s E-Media Tidbits. But I thought Contentious readers might be interested in it, too.)
Most of what I do is help journalists and news orgs wrap their brains around the Internet. Generally I enjoy that work. Lately, though, I’ve been getting quite [...]

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m currently using Twitter to provide live coverage of many of the sessions at a seminar from the Knight Digital Media Center called Total Community Coverage in Cyberspace. You can check in anytime today or tomorrow for my three most recent posts on the [...]

Today through Saturday I’m in downtown Los Angeles participating in the Knight Digital Media Center’s Total Community Coverage in Cyberspace seminar. You can follow the action on the special Twitter page I set up for liveblogging. (More about that.)
