Location

919 Third Avenue
New York NY 10022
Agenda
* Open discussion on topics for future meetings
* Featured presentation: The Blogger or Journalist: A New Spin
"Creditable" bloggers are starting to be recognized as "journalist bloggers." Print media includes links to journalist blogger posts. As the lines of distinction blur between the journalist versus blogger, questions arise:
- Who defines creditability?
- How does the media used to report upon an event influence creditability? For example, are the use of video, audio, micro-blogging considered to be as creditable as traditional print and broadcast media? As creditable as blogs?
- When will the journalist blogger completely mainstream into "traditional media"
Author of the Columbia Journalism Review article The Big Tent Professor Ann Cooper and Dan Patterson from ABC News will present their views.
This event is being presented in cooperation with the NYSIA Digital Media Special Interest Group.
Special thanks to Weber Shandwick and their ScreenGrab practice for hosting this event. Refreshments and snacks will be provided courtesy of Weber Shandwick.
