Recovering Journalist: Death of Almost 1,000 Cuts

June 27, 2008 - 11:32am — yelvington

It's been a horrible week at quite a few newspapers. At one point I found myself staring at my Twitter updates as if it were a train wreck in progress. Mark Potts has a good summary and this comment:

Speeches, presentations

In my "spare" time I occasionally speak and/or teach workshops related to Internet news publishing and participative/citizen media.

Upcoming:

I spoke on social networking earlier this year at
PNA’s e-Edge Conference (America East) and at Ifra's PublishAsia conference in Macau SAR, China, and I appeared on panels at Leadership 08: Transforming News, Knight Digital Media Center, Los Angeles, and a conference on The Future of Journalism at Harvard's Joan Shorenstein Center.

In 2007 my appearances included Paris, France; Istanbul, Turkey; Barcelona, Spain; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Rust, Germany.

If you're a conference organizer, you can contact me by email.
