Has blogging gone mainstream media? -- Room 204
A federal court in Washington assigns to seats to bloggers covering the Scooter Libby trial. A talk-radio hosts pastes together a citizen cable network in New Hamshire, avoiding broadcast TV. In this session we take an early look at the people and websites watching the New Hampshire presidential sweepstakes. A key ethical and business question looms over the news industry: What is journalism, who owns it and do people who "do journalism" deserve special consideration in law or otherwise? In this end-of-day session -- playing off the "shield law" panel earlier -- network with bloggers and traditional journalists who are already blogging and reporting on one of the most crowded fields of presidential contenders in memory. Help continue New Hampshire's non-partisan tradition as the nation's presidential issues petri dish. And consider this: As bloggers gain status as "journalists" what does this mean for traditional media? AN OPEN DISCUSSION AMONG PARTICIPANTS convened and led by: Robert Cox of the Media Bloggers Association; Tish Grier, Dep. Director of Participation for Assignment Zeroand former Editor of Corante Media Hub; Arnie Arnesen, blogger/talkmaster, PoliticalChowder.com; andAldon Hynes, former blogger for the Howard Dean and Ned Lamont campaigns and Media Giraffe Project collaborator.
