FYI, the session is now scheduled for 10 am tomorrow (5/2), followed by this session at 11 am from 3 Columbian employees: You run a daily newspaper. How do you escape the carnage?

Just wanted you to know that I blogged about this today on WordCount, my blog on writing & online news, where I often discuss what’s happening on the Oregon news scene. I also promo’d the link on Twitter.

I’d love to be there but have kid-related obligations that might prevent it. If not, I’ll be tuning in on Twitter.

This is an excellent idea. I have been discussing this very topic with several “thought leaders” and I think someone should contact Steve Woodward (@OregonianSteve) about this. He is one person who is not only interested in saving journalism, but is actively doing something about it. Maybe you can get him to speak about his new project, or at least pick his brain.

I’m still a newspaper reporter, but I agree with Daniel — my exclusive extracurricular career focus is now on startups, not on reinventing legacy newspapers. I’d like to attend this, but I’ll be much more interested in talking about the possibilities for new growth, not old.

Any idea when on the 2nd this discussion would take place?

I would definitely attend but I have to…heh…see “Star Trek” that morning.

(Not that anyone would want to know that — just BRAGGING….)

This would be an excellent discussion and one I would love to attend. I am not really a blogger or journalist but have been tasked with educating journalists about online media, including blogging. I am sure I would definitely pick up some useful insights…
