  • Hardly Strictly takeaways

    By now, you’ve surely forgotten the barrage of tweets and check-ins from 30 or so of us — the “Hardly, Strictly Young” David Cohn invited to the University of Missouri’s Reynolds Journalism Institute a couple weeks back for a round table Carnival of Journalism mission to gather alternative ideas about how to implement the Knight…

  • Looking forward to ONA10

    As I write this over breakfast, deep in the suburbs of our nation’s capital, ONA10 is already getting started, bleary-eyed workshop participants wandering the hotel halls in search of coffee, out-of-state attendees drifting through airports and trains and cabs and… OK, I’m probably romanticizing this way out of proportion, but the honest truth is that…

  • Sometimes, I show up in person and talk about journalism

    Just a quick programming note: If you’ve ever seen me in person, perhaps giving a short presentation and talking about journalism, blogs, social media, innovation at newspapers, or my own projects, you can now find related notes, slides, and links on my Speaking page. I’ll keep that updated.

The rough details Next week, I’ll be in Cambridge, Ma. at MIT for the Future of News and Civic Media Conference, including the announcements of…

  • BarCamp NewsInnovation update: Regional in January, NYC in April

OK, now that we have that out of the way, Jason Kristufek is calling for a “summit” of future-of-news hotshots/thinkers as a counterpoint to the recent American Press Institute mostly-executives meeting of the minds.
