Meyers also covered the event generally, in a story headlined: "Forum puts focus on press freedom, challenges of changing technology." She wrote: "Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas wants cell-phone service on the ski slopes, WiFi capabilities on the dairy farms and the convenience of renewing his fishing license online. Douglas shared his technological vision for the Green Mountain state with more than 100 journalists, bloggers and educators who gathered at the Wannalancit Mills yesterday for a daylong convention hosted by the New England News Forum."
