Next Wednesday, Sept. 16, I’ll be moderating an all-star panel on journalism, blogging and social media. Titled “Are Blogs and Twitter Improving the Dissemination of Information and News?,” the panel will feature:
- Scott Kirsner, who writes the “Innovation Economy” column for the Boston Globe.
- Adam Gaffin, the co-founder, editor and publisher of Universal Hub.
- Douglas Banks, the editor of Mass High Tech.
- Dharmesh Shah, chief technology officer and founder of HubSpot.com.
With that many bright minds in the room, I may have to wear shades.
The program will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Vilna Shul, located on Beacon Hill at 18 Phillips St. Please join us.
All-important food-related update: Doug Levin, who’s organizing the event, asks that you send an e-mail to doug {at} vilnashul {dot} com if you’re planning on coming so that he can order enough food. If you’re not looking to eat, you could show up at about 6:45, when the program will begin.
Media Nation 
Answers: Yes and No.
Think the topic of media credentialing of bloggers will come up? If so, how have the past 12 months refined your views?

Let me guess – they’ll all answer “yes”. Any other topics?
I would agree: Yes and No. Sounds like a great panel!

Hi Dan,
Wish I could attend, but back in PA teaching. Ohh %3$#^!
Any plans to video and post for us out-of-towners. Maybe Chris & Doug of NNN can tape it!
Give my regards to Adam and have a great time.
Wish you could be there! I am not sure whether there are any plans to record it.

It looks like a great lineup – I look forward to attending tomorrow’s panel.
