Thank you for doing this, and also for adding a student rate. Despite all that was imperfect, I’m really glad that I attended and have every intention of staying involved with the New Entity proposal. I seem to remember there being talk of contact info for everyone at the conference being distributed to attendees. Is that something that’s happening? I’ve found a couple people from my group on Twitter and Facebook, but don’t know how to reach the others. I think another WMTM conference in a few months might be a good idea. I’d like to hear how all the groups are progressing and have the opportunity for groups to work together. It might also give us the opportunity to correct what didn’t work at Saturday’s meeting.

Abraham. I did not know about the event. I would have loved to have gone. I think the event was a success from the viewpoint that this is a necessary process to bring about change to the industry. Journalist need to face future with a vengeance for the good of the planet. As for those who may have gotten their hair mussed, pioneers are usually the ones that take the arrows.

Hey, Abraham — I’m slow in chiming in, but this is well put. The “technology is journalism” point seems especially important. Like a lot of us, I’m glad you were part of getting this conference together, and I’m glad you’ll be pushing us to the next stuff, too.

Another perspective is posted here by a coworker of mine: http://is.gd/529qq – and no, it’s not written by a kid who grew up with the internet, but most assuredly by someone who understands the power of the web.

“Now what the hell am I supposed to do?” We’re supposed to keep the conversation going. There were a heck of ideas that languised because they wouldn’t work in today’s newsroom. Who cares? I want to be part of the ‘newsroom’ of the future.
