New Media/New Politics in Philadelphia

I'm here in Philadelphia, where the annual meeting of the National Conference of State Legislatures has begun. I'm on the faculty and am about to begin here in the Grand Ballrom on my session: New Media and Staying Ahead of the Story. Internet service is spotty, but I'll try and live blog if I'm able.



Update: Good discussion on the rise of new media and its impact on traditional media. Lots of questions on journalistic ethics in new media and staying on script (or varying from it) when something goes viral (good or bad). Can't answer that one. I'm amazed at the number of people who keep up with national blogs -- left and right -- daily. All in all, it was a very spirited discussion.

I have no other duties here, so I'm on my way to the airport and will be back in Arkansas tonight. I'm sitting on another panel at Mtn Harbor in the morning.
