Philadelphia and working with the media

I'm headed to Philadelphia this weekend for the National Conference of State Legislatures annual meeting. I'm sitting on a panel Monday morning to discuss the need for developing good interview skills and talking points among elected officials in the ever-evolving world of traditional and modern media. I'll be on the panel with State Senator Ric Cantrell (R-Utah) and Stateline.org Executive Editor Gene Gibbons, who worked as a White House correspondent for Reuters prior to launching stateline.org, one of the most exhaustive and interesting resources on the web pertaining to state government.

It'll be a quick trip, as I'm sitting on another panel in Hot Springs Tuesday morning with the Arkansas Chamber of Commerce.
