Next week: liveblogging from the Networked Journalism Summit
Steve Safran October 5th, 2007
I’ll be sorta-kinda-moderating a panel at the Networked Journalism Summit at the CUNY Grad School of Journalism in New York City on October 10th, and I will also be liveblogging the event on LR. David Cohn has released the day’s schedule. The panel for which I’m playing Oprah is called, simply, “New Broadcast.” This is all very anti-formal, in keeping with planner Jeff Jarvis’s notion of what a productive summit should be. I’d like you guys to give me your suggested questions/topics/ideas for discussion in the comments below. (And as Rosenblum and Sechrist will be panelists, I realize I’m already inviting lots of snark. Please understand that, as much as I like the pageviews, I’m probably not going to be asking anonymous hate questions.)

I don’t mean to be snarky (really), but I just looked at the Summit participants, and I’m struck by how many of the choices are predictable.
Back in the late 1990s, you couldn’t attend a convention or meeting without running into people like George Gilder. And I sometimes get the same feeling when I see the lineup for these things.
Wouldn’t it be much more interesting to have it somewhere other than NY or the West Coast? Chicago? Atlanta? Minneapolis? Frankly, that’s where a lot of the cool stuff is taking place anyhow.

I just did one in Des Moines on Wednesday.
Thank God it’s NY!

Looking forward to meeting you Steve.
See you in a few days.

Yeah, well, once again, not to be snarky, but I wasn’t saying that there wasn’t ANYTHING anywhere else. I just think that something like this (with the level of visibilitly) might be served better by having a slightly more unpredictable group of participants and hosting it somewhere a bit more off-center.
It’s not that I don’t think the current panels include a lot of talented people. My experience is that often it’s just the same people talking to each other again and again.
But hey, it’s not my call (shrug)

I understand what you’re saying Rick. No snark heard here.

Plans to apply variety (in the cybernetic sense) to preserve the journalistic integrity of our discrete and aggregate efforts
