  Speaking at New Communications Forum
I'll be keynoting the journalism track at the New Communications Forum in Las Vegas March 7-9. The topic is a favorite of mine: How Web 2.0 is revolutionizing mainstream media. I'll look at the profound impact of blogs on newsgathering and in particular how "blog swarms" can turn one person's experience into a global news phenomenon almost overnight.

There's lot of other good stuff to check out, too: 28 interactive sessions in four conference tracks focusing on corporate communications, PR, marketing and advertising, new media and journalism. It's also just a good thing to support the Society for New Communications Research, a non-profit that's doing important primary research in new media.

Go to the conference website to register and use discount code 612SHN to catch a $200 break on the registration fee.

Hi Paul,
I worked with you a while back at TechTarget - was site manager of Searchwin2000 and Searchsolaris for a short time - Rebecca Reynolds. I'm now in the last few months of a PhD fellowship at Newhouse studying children's use of new media for learning, the subject of my dissertation. Also study blogging and other social media forms.

I'm starting as Director of Research at the following organization in June 2007, just wanted to call your attention to it!
World Wide Workshop Foundation

I found your site through Society for New Communications Research --Jen McClure will be visiting Newhouse next week to give a talk.

Just reading up on the conference in LV, which looks interesting! Maybe some year it will make sense for WWWF to participate.

Hope you are doing well, and all the best.
